    But c++ code produced by gcc 2.91 and gcc 2.95 are also 
binary incompatible due to changes in the ABI between those two
version.  gcc 3.0 will also be incompatible with both of them,
but redhat's gcc 2.96 is source compatible with gcc 3.0. C++  source
code that compiles on 2.91 may not compile on 3.0 (and 2.96) since
3.0 (and 2.96) have much better compliance to the c++. E.g. I believe
KDE 1.x suffers from this problem.
