The official versions require libstdc++5, which has been in SUSE as legacy support for a whole bunch of release versions. There's been talk on moznet for years of switching to a newer version, but the devs there feel the distros are using the latest in their native packages, while maintaining compatability for users of support orphan distros remains nicely served by building theirs with an older compiler. Plus there's the latency issue of the mozilla.org tinderbox build servers getting old and still running on old distros with old compilers. Upgrading distros on them not only requires an investment of resources, it muddies the performance statistics on the tests they constantly run to detect performance changes if they change the environment. -- "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
