Userlevel apps can be compiled with GCC4 as well - but since the C++
ABI differs, you cannot call any libbe.so functions in a nice way. But
you could still compile C only libraries using GCC 4, and have them
used by a GCC 2.95.3 executable - at least in theory; we don't have a
Haiku based GCC 4 yet :-)
