Being gcc-agnostic in general means to not make use of C++ at all, I guess. I do not know a precise way to find out if any lib does that, but you could try cheating a bit by running this: nm <lib> | grep "\w _Z" Any library/app that shows any results for that is a C++ library and thus not compatible between gccs. HTH. cheers, Oliver
