I need to generate a gcc binary that will always enable the
-fabi-version=1, because I have a library built with gcc 3.3 and I
need to link with it, but I would like to use gcc 4.
The libstdc++ ABI broke between these releases, so unless your library
doesn't use libstdc++ at all (somewhat unlikely), there is little point
to this.q
The problem is that we are using a closed-source library from Sony (for
their robots AIBO, which run on a MIPS) and they don't support anything
other than gcc 3.3.
If the library uses libstdc++, does it help if I compile it with
-fabi-version? I have added that option to the environment of the build
script.
Is there a simple way to do this (a configure option,..) ? or do I
need to patch the gcc/c-cppbuiltin.c file to always define
_GXX_ABI_VERSION as 102?
The latter, as far as I know.
OK, I'll add that patch to our patchset.
