Re: My proposal for the libgcc runtime ABI (ia64 gcc/glibc is broken.)

Please post your patches, even if they initially only work on
GNU/Linux.  Since we already have the encoding of ABI in the libstdc++
SONAME only on GNU/Linux, we can probably start by building libgcc.so
only on GNU/Linux too.

It is my understanding that the encoding of the C library API is only
done on GNU/Linux.  I'm talking about other platforms.
