I'm waiting until after the GCC import because that should change the way dependencies are recorded in shared libraries, which really would force everyone to rebuild everything all over again. After the GCC import, we should bump all the libraries and enable symbol versioning, and hopefully you'll only have to rebuild things once. -- DE
