Bumping the version from from 6.0.0 to 6.1.0 broke gcj, because the minor version is still encoded in the gcj abi, not seen during development of the 6 series until it was bumped for the final release. The gcc-5-branch needs a slightly different approach, because we froze the abi version only with the 5.3.0 release. --- gcc/java/decl.c (Revision 235458) +++ gcc/java/decl.c (Arbeitskopie) @@ -561,9 +561,10 @@ else /* C++ ABI */ { /* Implicit in this computation is the idea that we won't break the - old-style binary ABI in a sub-minor release (e.g., from 4.0.0 to - 4.0.1). */ - abi_version = 100000 * major + 1000 * minor; + old-style binary ABI in a sub-minor release (e.g., from 5.0 to + 5.1).
