that stuff.
This is something I've been thinking about as well a while ago. If we
had some kind of ABI-agnostic intermediate layer, it would not only
solve the gcc2/5 problem, it would also allow binding to Haiku APIs from
languages other than C++ altogether. [...]

Actually, while that would be cool, I was reaching for a far more closer goal: having a packaging scheme that allows the packages to be identical for gcc2h, and gcc5h; ie. there wouldn't be a primary and secondary architecture anymore, but only two equal different ones.
I may have worded that poorly, though :-)

Bye,
