C++ compat was broken between 3.3 and 3.4, so C++ libs compiled against 3.3 and 3.4 aren't going to play nice with each other. KDE is the common example of breakage here. If I'm wrong, then someone will hopefully correct me here, but this is the only way to keep everything sane as far as I know. As for a doc, look at: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102876 I'm hoping we can get something thrown together relatively quickly so I can mark it stable. Nothing is going to be required immediately from the user though, since their compiler won't be changed to 3.4 until they do so. -- Mark Loeser - Gentoo Developer (cpp gcc-porting toolchain x86) email - halcy0n AT gentoo DOT org mark AT halcy0n DOT com web - http://dev.gentoo.org/~halcy0n/ http://www.halcy0n.com
