The LSB will be adopting "The V3 multi-vendor standard C++ ABI" that GCC 3.1 implements.
If it's just blocking for a short time, no problem. So please ignore my previous messages.
Even once the C++ ABI is included, KDE still has a major blocking issue in the Qt QPL license. The LSB is designed to provide a platform for software developers to use without restriction or licensing fees for any use whatsoever. Unfortunately the QPL does not provide that facility to LSB Applications.
