gcc-4.1.1

[Terry Chan]

When apps break due to gcc changes in the ABI, it's almost always C++ apps.

So a pure C++ app that was compiled with gcc-3.4.x can/will have problems
with the ABI in gcc-4.x.x.  Usually a recompile of the C++ app with the
newer compiler is all that is necessary.  Or you might try recompiling
the dependency tree of the C++ app as more C++ parts can/will be broken as
well.

If all that fails, then you'll need to check with the devs of the said C++
app to see if they have a svn/cvs version that fixes your problem(s).

So yes, if you only have ONE lunar box, then don't feel compelled as a lunar
dev to possibly wreck you're only working box by installing a newer gcc-4.x.
