The ABI compatibility switch is suppose to allow a choice among
multiple ABI changes. The current choices are 3.2 or current. GCC 3.1
was declared no longer supported. If you want to add another option to
the switch to handle GCC 3.1, it is up to the maintainer to decide whether
to accept and support that into the future.
Theoretically the "switch" can handle the vtable change, but the
current implementation does not have an option for GCC 3.1 compatibility.
