Comment (by korli):

 Replying to [comment:6 tangobravo]:
 > As these are all layout API symbols, I didn't think we cared about
 binary compatibility (at least before yourpalal's latest refactoring work
 to add padding etc). If it's a Haiku-added API don't we usually just
 rebuild the affected packages?

 We care about GCC2 binary compatibility for sure, but even then & package
 rebuild could be needed because of wchar_t's size change. For GCC4, see
 #8336, this can get pretty annoying until package management is available.
