Yes. Not only has the libstdc++ ABI changed, but the symbol mangling has as well (hence most of the undefined symbols that you're seeing). I've tested gcc/g++ 3.0 out on KDE on Alpha before and it worked fairly well. There were some problems (Konqueror crashed for no reason, etc), but overall, it did work. Also, be aware that the kdelibs and kdebase packages didn't compile with 3.0 for quite some time unless they were patched. You may want to check with Ivan (the kdelibs/kdebase/qt maintainer) to see if the patches are still needed if you plan on recompiling. C
