Sorry for the late reply...

I'm really sure if it is going to compile on Fedora 8. What is the
earliest version of gcc that you wish to support?

It has a lot of fancy new functionalities :)
The most noticeable are standardized threading support, variadic
templates (templates with variable number of arguments), lambda
expressions (small inline functions written directly in to the code),
move semantics (rvalue references), auto keyword, smart pointers...

XorpCallback class could be written as variadic template - that would
reduced the code size drastically, and it would be more readable.
Move semantics have large impact on performances.
With lambda expressions and auto keyword code could be written to be
more readable.
etc...
