The last incompatible change was *11 years ago*, and it was a bug fix, it was not just because they like to break things.

GCC follows a standard backed by some major names, they don't pull things out of their hats:

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/abi.html

Too bad that Sun was not there - but as it happens, some actually good standards were Not Invented By Sun and yet are useful.

So I believe it's time to please let go the old grudges and accept that yes, GCC can have a stable standard ABI.
