yeah no what im really asking is am i going to run into problems if i
'upgrade' to gcc3.4 and do not, as recommended in the notes that are

is the version of libstdc++.so which is linked to determined by the compiler
currently in use as determined by gcc-config? is it not possible to have
different programs run against different versions of c++ shared libraries?
