I am trying to say that it is not C++ and ABI that are the big issue here,
but specific switches like what happened to the internal libstdc++ in NetBSD,
or "restricted" issues with specific compilers (gcc) and their C++ runtime.

As you say, this is pkgsrc, with many compilers and many platforms. Many
of them may not see the lossage, but that does tell nothing about the others.
