- libstdc++ ABI changes (it is a significant user visible change,
if you rebuild everything, no extra effort is needed, but otherwise
if you want some C++ code built with older compilers work together
with code built with newer compilers, it might require source code
changes (the abi_tag attribute additions where needed and warning
suggest to put those at), at least that is my current understanding
of the plans
- likely libgfortran ABI changes (different array descriptors)
