I think would be interesting (and safer) if gcc-config (or a wrapper using it) would automatically (or behind an option) rebuild libtool and ghc when present to prevent issues as maybe people will forget to re-read:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml#doc_chap3

Every time they change gcc profile

Thanks a lot

Reproducible: Always

i don't know how ghc works, but sounds like it should also be fixed to not be stupid

As looks like libtool is still broken... could gcc-config at least suggest people that they need to rebuild it when switching? Thanks
