Just for the record, please try to build egcs 1.1.2 on a glibc 2.0
based Linux/x86 system and build a few C++ applications, groff should
be ok. Then install glibc 2.1 and rebuild egcs 1.1.2. Now try to see
if the old groff binaries still work. "man fopen" will do. I have no
idea how to make a simple testcase out of it. Even if I did, I am
afraid noone, but who work on symbol versioning in glibc, would
understand what is going on.

BTW, my library versioing patch is created to deal with this problem.
