If people are complaining for incessant ABI incompatibilities between
GCC releases, then it occurs to me that the ABI changes in your proposed
3.3 version should also be incorporated into your proposed 3.2 version.
Which means, we delay the release for the actual 3.2 to incorporate
all needed and known ABI changes.
Right now, does anyone produce testcases that show that the ABI
changes under discussion affect in unreconciliable ways current
softwares?
