There are differences in the architecture specific ABI on some architectures and the C++ ABI differs as well. Having the symlinks managed by alternatives doesn't allow reliable builds with the same major/minor version of the compiler. To use another compiler version, set the appropriate environment variables as described above in the section "Practical implications". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
