That ties in to KDE.
Could you tell me what is GCC ABI? Specifically, what does ABI stand for? I am not rigorously following GCC-related development and would be thankful if you could tell me something or provide me related links. BTW, I did read a a news article on www.techrepublic.com several months back and it said that some company had offered its services to upgrade GCC to incorporate substantial size/speed optimizations with respect to the newer processors so that the whole linux and all the software based on it could simply be recompiled and run several order of magnitude faster than the versions of the same compiled with the current GCC versions - to give Linux a significant competitive edge over other operating systems such as Windows. I would be thankful if anyone could update me (and other folks on this list) on the current developments in this direction. TIA -- Asif p.s. If you think this is OT and spam than please e-mail me your replies directly. No problem if you do not reply :) This is really slightly off topic.
