Presumably the version currently in SFW, and no other, since g++ isn't binary
compatible across many of it's minor releases - right?
Why does this need a waiver from the usual policy requiring public C++ apps
be compiled with Sun Studio, which has a stable ABI across releases?
(See section 4.1.8 of the opinion of PSARC/2002/348 for the current rules,
which despite prior requests is unfortunately still not published on
opensolaris.org.)
