I think the only question is about the performance of g++ on the sparc 
platform. I don't know if there's still a significant difference there.

As for switching ABIs: wxwidget is a very good candidate at this point 
since we just rebuilt (and fixed!) all its dependencies, and there are 
not many.
I propose to try the g++ compatible ABI for Studio on the x86 version, 
and use g++ on sparc (to be switched back to Studio w/ g++ compatibility 
when it becomes available). How does that sound?
