I just updated my system to use linux-headers-3.1. I have rebuilt my kernel to account for the new headers, but what else do I need to do to update my system?

I did a Google search and also poked around the forums, but I don't see any instructions.

sys-libs/glibc
Kernel rebuild wasn't needed.

If you have app-portage/gentoolkit emerged, you can run
Code:

equery depends linux-headers

to get a list of packages that depend directly on linux-headers.

sys-libs/glibc is the most important, but anything that uses
hard-coded sizes of kernel datatypes within its code would
be a candidate for re-emerging after a linux-headers update.
