GCC 4.3.2 just got stable on Gentoo a few days ago. For a full, clean, upgrade I need to recompile the whole system. Maybe this weekend (a long one).
I'm wondering, if I'm already recompiling everything, I should consider installing from scratch in 64bit instead of 32bit. Flash has had a 64 bit plugin for a while already, and it seems that sun's JDK is also now sporting a 64 bit plugin. That doesn't leave a lot of remaining objections to 64 bit since the last time I tried.
What about wine, does it work well in 64bit? What other binary blobs do I have that I should worry about?
I recently switched my wireless driver to net-wireless/broadcom-sta, which should work with 64bit.
Let's see... what else... I guess I would need to reinstall oracle-xe. Wait, let's just see what's in my /opt and /usr/local:
VMware, googleearth, sqldeveloper, ...
hmmm... need to think about it some more.
Update: Arrgrggg... Oracle Express doesn't come in 64 bit... Will need multilib after all.
