Hmmm, I don't like maintaining two versions of a package, if 3.4 is stable it will be the one and only current version. >> In case you need several libstdc++ libraries I recommend to rebuild the >> compiler yourself (should be no problem if you use the provided sources, >> at least since version 3.3.1 all is in the source tarball included) and >> use the configure option to enable versioned libs: >> --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs > What will it do? Will it rename libstdc++ to something like libstdc++3.3? Yes. You may also rename the libraries manually, of course that should only work in case you use gcc(-3.3.3) as driver then, you need to specify the library explicitly when linking when using gcc to link C++ objects anyway, so say now: gcc-3.3.3 -o myc++.exe myc++file.C -lstdc++3.3.3 However I'm sure it would not work with g++ as driver to just rename the runtime since g++ has builtin to look after libstdc++ now, therefore a rebuild is more interesting for you.
