Exactly.
Plus the elf loader could just patch LIBRARY_PATH to add gcc2/ or
lib.gcc2/ to folders when an old bin is detected.
Using an official ELF ABI number instead of SysV's would probably
help... (subversionning it can distinguish between gcc ABI versions).
SysV bins would be R5 gcc2 stuff, Haiku bins would have their own ABI
magic.
