GCC 3.3 is more strict in C++ area and Just to be clear, there is no ABI breakage -- there is much more stricter adherence to standards (one might call it API breakage). There was a decicision by the GCC Steering Committee to not fix C++ ABI bugs between 3.2 and 3.3 by default. One can use the most bug-free(ahearance) to the C++ ABI standard using a commandline option. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
