That has not been the case for a while now. The C++ ABI generated by GCC has been stable since the GCC 3.4 release four years ago. The libstdc++ ABI is also stable, although libstdc++ is not fully backward and forward compatible, in the sense that a program compiled with the libstdc++ distributed with GCC 4.3 may use symbols which are not defined by the lisbtdc++ distributed with GCC 3.4.
