We can't use it for woody, since switching to g++ 3.0 means breaking
the ABI and will force us to change to sonames on all C++ libraries.
You can not link anything you compile with g++-3.0 with C++ libraries
that are currently in woody/sid.

The exceptions are architectures that have always used g++-3.0
(from memory those are ia64 and hppa).
