Re: Can we have g++/libstdc 32 packages

[Joel Young <jdy cs brown edu>]

There was an error in the abi for g++3.2x .  By default the fixed
abi isn't used in g++3.3 to ensure the advertised abi compatibility
across g++ 2.2 and 2.3, but the fixed abi can be selected with
-fabi-version=0  .  This fixes some issues with ublas in boost.

Since gcc 3.3 is being used exclusively in redhat severn, could this
compiler flag be used by default to ensure a (more) correct ABI
is used for C++?
