Hi all, gcc-4.7 introduced some c++11 support, but unfortunately this resulted in a changed ABI for files compiled with c++98/03 support and those complied with c++11. So, if a library used c++11 but linked to a library using c++98, there could be crashes due to incompatibilities between these. The gcc-4.7.1-5 package uses a snapshot with the needed patches to fix this issue. However, c++11 code compiled with any earlier 4.7.x version possibly be incompatible with c++11 code compiled with gcc-4.7.1-5 and above and anything compiled with c++98/03. I have created a TODO list that includes everything linking to libstdc++.so and that was built since gcc-4.7.0 entered the repos. It is a big list, but only software that used --std=c++11 when compiling need recompiled. Look at your build output (you do keep the logs for future reference...) and decide if your package needs recompiled or not.
