Regarding the ABI change, would I be correct to say that the ABI was broken for
powerpc by
2012-02-10 Benjamin Kosnik <b...@redhat.com>
Jonathan Wakely <jwakely....@gmail.com>
since that particular patch introduced the dependency on having long long
atomics? If I understand correctly, before that change code would use sync
builtins on powerpc throughout. So code compiled before that date won't behave
correctly using a current libstdc++.so, which now uses mutexes.
I'm not trying to apportion blame, just pointing out that making libstdc++ use
atomics on powerpc *fixes* an ABI breakage for the great majority of cases.
