You need to guarantee that you can rebuild the exact same executables. If necessary, commit the compilers and other tools to the repository, though an alternative approach that I'm starting to think may be better is to use a virtual machine.
Personally, however, I've never run into a problem that required going back to an earlier compiler. I could imagine that being necessary if you're working on real-time systems, or other stuff that is really close to the hardware. Even in those cases, it's more likely you'd have problems in your own logic than in the code generated by the compiler. > I am posting this into nant forum, because I have seen posts of people, who > commercially release the industry sized software.
