[openbeos] Re: binary middle ground

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?
