Yes after compiling the new gcc you would want to use that for glibc before
recompiling gcc with the new gcc linked against new glibc.

It's funny but as I was going to work I was thinking about this very
problem. Which do you merge first. I concluded that if you merged glibc
first then you would wan't to compile them both twice in alternating order.

Has anyone ever tried to update with both methods to compare the resulting
binaries? No, I can't be bothered myself.
