Another issue with binary compatibility is the compiler. Right now
x86 BeOS is locked into a specific version of GCC. A few months ago
there were discussions of what would be required to move to the
latest and greatest, and a Be engineer seemed to indicate that all
involved C++ code would have to be recompiled with the new compiler.
So, by going for R5 binary compatibility we're also saying we won't
be upgrading the compiler any time soon.
Right?
