Well, try it yourself: build a Gentoo system with gcc-4.9
and then switch to gcc-5 (that uses the new ABI) and start
building the updates as they come.
I did that and came across many crashes in the first days.
The gdb backtraces contain the hints to what additional packages
need updates (always std::string related in my case).

Crash early, crash often
By my lights, you are fortunate if it crashes -- the earlier, the more fortunate. Feel for the poor sysadmin whose services should have crashed, but instead corrupted some persistent data store.
