You're the same idiot above, I presume.
You change the C compiler, rebuild the toolchain (system) once to recompile all with the new compiler, and again to be absolutely sure that the entire toolchain is using the new features/headers/NPTL/compiler/etc. Rebuilding and rebooting into the kernel is also necessary to be sure that you're entirely up to date.
If you don't do this, you may miss something. In Gentoo, it's as easy as "emerge -e system ; emerge -e system" and come back to it in a day.
It does work. and it does make a difference. Go to gentoo.org and enter the forum, see for yourself. Obviously, this is not a procedure you'll do with a production server, though you might do it once.
And uh... please, stop making stupid and inflammatory comments, you bring them back at yourself.
