I would like to know if someone had an interest in switching 12.2 to gcc 4.7 as default. Because it's quite some work and we'd need to start *NOW* - but it requires some people to actually work on it and take control. E.g. in mass building factory with it and fixing packages *before* we switch.
There wasn't some kind of (accidental?) ABI breakage? I would not want 12.2 to be incompatible with everything else.
Haem, not sure when that started to matter - but you're incompatible as soon as you compile against latest glibc symbols.
GCC 4.7 libraries installed on a 11.1 (yes, I know ...) work just fine. They are ABI (backward) compatible. Everything else would be a bug.
