albright,
If you are already on gcc-5, there is nothing to rebuild. Except maybe libtool.
If you are going directly from gcc-4 to gcc-6, you get to keep the pieces.
That's not supported.

we'll see how it goes
more seriously, does it actually make more sense to upgrade 4 to 5
and then 5 to 6 ?

Which is why emerge has the --keep-going option. You do these big emerges while you sleep! That's what I do. Then I wake up, it's coffee first of course, but then I go running over to my Gentoo box to see what Santa has left under my tree, so to speak.
If I've been naughty then I wait for next week's portage sync to see if Santa's mood hasn't chilled a little. In no case should any of this be stressful.
Also, if you have three boxes running Gentoo, I'd say that distcc should be mandatory. It is true there are an odd few packages that react badly when built this way but the bulk of it is handled very neatly by distributing the load.

yes, distcc is helpful; not sure how to use "keep-going" with revdep-rebuild

albright,
gcc is only tested to build one major version up and down.
So gcc-4 can build gcc-5, which in turn can build gcc-6 ... and so on.
gcc-4 building gcc-6 is neither tested nor supported.
With gcc being written in C++, I would expect gcc-6 to demand the new C++ ABI that was introduced in gcc-5.
All your C++ code needs to be rebuilt when you do the gcc-4 to gcc-5 update. There is nothing to do going from gcc-5 to gcc-6.
In this case, I recommend following the well trodden path.

well ... it worked
one computer went direct from gcc4 to gcc6, another gcc4 - 5 - 6
no difference that I could see in building difficulty

news item when you did the jump from gcc-4 to gcc-6 ?

After switching gcc to 6 I ran the revdep-rebuild command
and with some futzing everything rebuilt
Is there more to do?
