Is there really a C++ ABI change from gcc-3.3 to gcc-3.4? I just read http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.4/changes.html and there seems to be only a very small ABI change for MIPS and SPARC which affects functions with aggregate parameters, i.e struct or union parameters (_not_ pointers to structs or unions). I do not know many libraries which have such functions (e.g. 'void f(struct s x)'). Please point me to the relevant documents which describe in which way the C++ ABI has changed in gcc-3.4.
