We're already effectively doing this. The trouble is the libraries are not forward compatible. For example, if you build boost-native for gcc5, then use it on a machine which has gcc 4.9 to link into source- highlight-native, it looks for the gcc5 symbols used by libboost which aren't in the host system's libstdc++. If you try and make it link against the uninative libstdc++ (for which the dev symlinks are missing), you get all kinds of other weird errors since the headers are from gcc 4.9 but the lib from gcc5.  I'm not sure there is a way to make it work properly in all cases for C++ :(. If there is I've failed to find it so far. The dual ABI is already enabled and defaulting to something old, but that doesn't make it forwards compatible. Cheers, Richard
