I had a project that needed gcc 2.95 and I had exactly this problem with
gtk-themes. The theme-engine was compiled in gcc 2.96 and linked in
against gcc 2.95 compiled code. This lead to crashes and unpredictable
behaviour.
All in all it's great that abiword compiles with gcc 3.0.4 wait for a
distro-wide upgrade to use it however.
