I'm not worrying. It's just that for LM 8.1, it would be nice to have
gcc 3.0...
And to have the c++ compatibilities libs (there was a link to a missing
library in the 8.0 when it was first distributed. Don't know if it was
fixed, we're using 7.2 for our work, and I didn't try with the 8.0 since
that time) with gcc 2.95.x, so that you could upgrade your system without
needing to recompile everything.
Cheers,
