Fine, but it should be made clear to them that they might have trouble
running g++ 3.2 compiled applications built by others.
Something like glibc configury which, unless --disable-sanity-checks
is given to configure, exists with error if the result would not be binary
compatible with others (such as trying to build without linuxthreads
on linux).
