Example: Compile a C++ program on x86 Linux with gcc 2.9x, install it on a system with gcc 3.x As long as your program does not throw an exception, everything is fine. If your program throws an exception, the application crashes. Reason: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so You have to fiddle around with LD_PRELOAD, I found no other way.
