I believe that the C++ ABI problem cannot be soved as this would force at least
(all -1) compiler authors to completely change their internal compiler source
structures.
What we can do for the problem?
- Use as many pure C ABIs as possible
- Create something like /usr/lib/gcc/
to document the fact that the libraries inside are not compatible
with the Sun compiler C++ ABI
