Is there really a C++ ABI change from gcc-3.3 to gcc-3.4?

I just read http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.4/changes.html and there seems 
to be only a very small ABI change for MIPS and SPARC 
which affects functions with aggregate parameters, i.e struct or 
union parameters (_not_ pointers to structs or unions). I do not know 
many libraries which have such functions (e.g. 'void f(struct s x)').

Please point me to the relevant documents which describe in which way 
the C++ ABI has changed in gcc-3.4.
