Please consider ABI compatiblity anouncements between C++ compiler releases a
running gag which started at about version 2.95 release time. One thing for sure
is that even the changes between GCC 3.2.2 and 3.2.3 broke openoffice for me on
Linux at least. I don't even will start to talk about 3.2. and 3.3 on ARM...
