The caveats page needs a slight update then:

 * GCC 2.95 compiled C++ code is not binary compatible with EGCS 1.1, EGCS
   1.0.x or GCC 2.8.x. 

Note that it specifically states 1.0.x, but NOT 1.1.x - only 1.1.
This caused me to believe that it should be binary compatible with 1.1.1
and 1.1.2.

Of course, even if it *was* meant to be binary compatible, this bug shows
that it isn't, and therefore the caveats should still be updated.
