I don't do C++, but Garrett the uClibc++ maintainer used to be at the desk next to mine. He would find this statment hilarious. Among other things, any _sane_ C++ ABI will deal with nested classes and namespaces by listing the innermost one first, so that when you have: parent1.parent2.parent3.child.member parent1.parent2.parent3.child.walrus parent1.parent2.parent3.child.thingy You don't strcmp your way through 80 bytes of guaranteed-to-be-identical data every time you want to do linking or RTTI or anything that needs to find a symbol. This is just one random example of how the people who were doing this weren't THINKING. I'll stop now.
