How do I find out which version of GCC a shared object library was compiled with? For example, what did Real use to compile /usr/lib/RealPlayer8/rpnp.so?

You can't really tell. For C++, you can differentiate between gcc 2.95.X and 3.X by their differing type of name mangling. But as the compiler doesn't leave a version number or something similar in the compiled code, there's no way to identify the compiler version. Philipp
