Yes. I was a bit frighten by the growing number of patches accumulated since
4.2 release.
There is already 8 patches in half a month for 4.2 when there was only 10
for 13 month for 4.1

 I have seen that you upgraded readline to 6.2.
gentoo bash ebuild have this warning
"
 # Always use the buildin readline, else if we update readline
 # bash gets borked as readline is usually not binary compadible
 # between minor versions.
 #myconf="${myconf} $(use_with !readline installed-readline)"
 myconf="${myconf} --without-installed-readline"

That would mean for use that we should have extra care if upgrading readline
to update any program that link to readline. Using a simple grep show this
grep -r 'checking for readline' log_i486
log_i486/01_toolchain/gcc-4.4.5_1:checking for readline in -lreadline... no

I haven't yet checked which files are different between readline 6.1 and 6.2
upgrade.
