I think for maybe the next year that is the best approach - now, all pkgs to Debian Unstable have to use gcc-4.0 and Fedora 4 is on gcc-4.0. Most others are still on gcc-3.3.x
That's why we use "static" builds. Link Inkscape with gtkmm, glibmm, any C++ lib statically. With a .a instead of a .so. Also, you can build gcc itself with --disable-shared, so that libstdc++ itself is a .a also. This avoids the C++ ABI incompatibilities. Straight C should be universally linkable. After building, you should do an 'ldd inkscape' to view its dependencies.
