No, I'm saying that the C side of the compiler is quite good, but the
ABI for C++ is not. If you are developing proprietary software and
you are depending on the same binary working on various distributions
with different ABIs, you will need to link in libstdc++ and other C++
libraries statically.
The only way to get a C++ compiler with the features needed by modern
C++ programmers is to ship a newer C++ compiler. The API should be
unchanged between 2.96 and 3.0, but the ABI will change.
If you are building programs in house, or if you are working on Open
Source software, it should not be a big problem. If your code breaks
the compiler we will fix it.
Cheers,
Matt
