I meant to say "packages" but wrote "binaries" instead :-P Teaches me to
write email before I wake up fully.

No, it's a bit more complex than that. C++ code that uses multiple
inheritence sometimes fails when compiled under 2.95.4 because there's no
handle to hang destructors from (so they can't be called on
exit...instead, the GP gets the value of main()'s exit function and calls
that). Mozilla and KDE packages are also problematic for the same
reasons.

It's all the compiler, not the source (usually).
