How does Gentoo handle the jumps of C++ ABI?  For instance, QT/KDE compiled by 
GCC 3.4, then you upgrade to GCC 4.

I have 6 systems I have to update.  All with different processors.  Some x86, 
some ppc.  Gentoo would be too much of a hassle in this environment.  Even 
with one computer, it would be too much of a hassle with GCC taking up 99% 
cpu in the background.
