I really, really hope that the line about GCC breaking the C++ ABI again in 4.2 is wrong. How can anybody ever take them credibly if they break their promises not once, not twice, but three times?
It looks increasingly likely that a stable C++ ABI will never happen. Combined with the lack of proper ELF scoping at the symbol level, this makes using C++ in any form on Linux, even like how Inkscape does it, fundamentally unreliable.
