This is a good place to be. The RH compiler breaks too many things to
worry about. Anyone generating (C++) binaries for RH7 will find they
don't run any where else, not even any other RH releases. IMHO, there is
no reason to go out of your way to make certain that those binaries are
possible to generate in the first place...
As a practical matter, RH7 (almost certainly) shipped with older libstdc++
versions included for compatibility, so if the binaries were build
elsewhere, it should be possible to run them even if it requires
LD_PRELOAD tricks (but certaintly they changed the version numbers, i
hope!).
I will compile up this prerelease tonight, on a G4 PPC box running
SuSE6.4.
