hi,
Recently we saw library bumps for various shared libraries because of
changes since 4.x
Would it make sense to also bump the c++ related libraries when we take
a gcc that has an incompatible C++ ABI.
Currently I have a couple of commercial closed-source applications that
are built against 5.2.1, and won't be rebuilt in the (near) future for
5.3.
Bumping the c++ library versions would allow the 5.2.1 libstdc++ library
(and related libs) to be included as a compat52x-type library, allowing
such applications to continue working.
