I can run packages built with g++272 and g++ on the same system.
But everytime I want to rebuild one, I have to switch the -dev packages.
(some packages only compile with one or the other) So we are already in
this situation. Since the libraries have different version numbers, there
is no problem at runtime. I assume the only problem with the -dev
packages is headers occupying the same place. Could we just put them in
subdirs under /usr/include and require compiling with appropriate -I flags
? I'm not asking for one more compiler, just if there is ever going to be
a time when we don't want at least two c++ compilers.
