C++ compat was broken between 3.3 and 3.4, so C++ libs compiled against 3.3 |
| 8 |
and 3.4 aren't going to play nice with each other. KDE is the common example |
| 9 |
of breakage here. If I'm wrong, then someone will hopefully correct me here, |
| 10 |
but this is the only way to keep everything sane as far as I know. |

As for a doc, look at: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102876 |

I'm hoping we can get something thrown together relatively quickly so I can |
| 15 |
mark it stable. Nothing is going to be required immediately from the user |
| 16 |
though, since their compiler won't be changed to 3.4 until they do so. |
