Thanks ! So you suggested basically 3 solutions:

I am running a linux debian stable, let say I install g++3.4, if I
build an executable using this particular I should be garantee that
the binary use a quite old GLIBC API, right ? Since this is not listed
in your solution, I am guessing there is a good reason, but I do not
see what's wrong here...

You seems to have a quite elaborate solution since you can run
'everywhere' in my case, since my project is written in C++, I will
only be able to support system that understand ABI version=2 of g++.
So I thought using the earliest possible implementation of ABI
version=2 in g++ 3.4 should solve my issue.

As a side note, since solution #1 seems to be used internally in
solution #2 (apgc is shipped with some kind of old glibc), do you have
any further documentation on how to do that. apgcc is not part of
debian...

I might eventually try solution #3 as support for cross compilation
seems to be a lot easier when using cmake (http://cmake.org), I'll try
to reproduce what was done there.

Thanks again for your help
