Is there a date for the release of the sources for 2.1.7?  We're running 
2.1.6 right now, and we're quivering in our boots.

Once one retrieves the source, would be it sufficient to replace merely 
/usr/lib, /usr/libexec, /usr/sbin, /usr/bin, /sbin, and the kernel 
sources?  I would prefer to do a minimal re-install since that would require a 
messy back-up process.

Also, I suppose it is safe to recompile the libaries and binaries using 
gcc-2.7.2.1 or gcc-2.6.3 (cc), both of which are already on the system?

Thanks,

JP
