    You can specify to g++ that it should use the old ABI (-fabi=102). The bigger problem is that it uses a different version of libstdc++, and the versioning in there has not yet been solved as well as it has been in libc.

  5. Terpstra DOESN'T work for Caldera by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Informative

    Read the date on your link. Terpstra worked for Caldera in 2001, when they were a Linux company. As far as I can tell, he never worked for SCO, new or old.

    Try Google. You may have heard of it. He now works for PrimaStasys, Inc.

    I'm disgusted that you attempted to link someone who has done so much for Free software with SCO.

    Firstly the LSB covers several platforms nowdays, secondly its goal is to create common packages. That means getting the same package running on Red Hat and SuSE regardless of whether its proprietary or free software.
