4 Doesn't look promising. I just tried it, and I get this bug:

18 Theoretically...maybe. There is a bit of an open debate right now on
19 how binary compatible 3.4.x and 4.x are.
20
21 You can certainly merge 3.4.6-r1, and use gcc-config to select that as
22 your compiler for building klibido. And I am reasonably sure it will
23 _compile_.
24
25 But it is maybe a bit dangerous, as you have kdelibs built with 4.1,
26 so linked against that version of libstdc++.so. When you build
27 klibido with 3.4.x, it will get linked with that version of
28 libstdc++.so. Since the .so version is the same, the system should
29 load one and only one copy of libstdc++.so (whichever one shows up
30 first in ldconfig). And it should work...*in theory*. However there
31 have been some issues posted with running such mixed-environment
32 programs, so it seems not so simple.
33
34 I would suggest to either use 3.4.x and rebuild all C++ programs with
35 that (using revdep-rebuild --library=libstdc++.so.6), or wait for the
36 above bug to get fixed. Rebuilding all C++ programs could include
37 openoffice.org, mozilla, and other long-compiling packages...

43 I haven't tried it, but maybe it will work with wine? If you decide
44 to try wine, make sure you merge the latest 0.9.x version, not a
45 -2005XXXX version.
