If gcc is branched now, does this mean that the libgcc ABI is now set
in stone?
I am specifically wondering because I wanted to investigate tidying up
the "gthread" API, but I hadn't had time - but I was very specifically
going to be given time soon (not before next week :-)).
My concern is that if I don't get it in in time for this branch it can
never ever happen... And similarly with any other future changes that
may ever change the libgcc ABI.
Or are my worries about the ABI unnecessary?
