C++ ABI change -- freezing unstable for new C++ library packages

2005-06-08 Thread Matthias Klose
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hi all, For etch we will update the toolchain (glibc, binutils, linux-kernel-headers, gcc) again. Some updates look easy, other will have a bigger impact on packages. One aspect of the toolchain update is the change of the C++ ABI from version 1 (102) to
