[Bug 600321] Re: Please backport gcc-3.3

[Graham Inggs]

I'm struggling to find a binary suitable for you to test, most belong to
big, expensive applications that require some kind of license server.

Below is a list of some of the 64-bit applications we use that require libstdc++.so.5:
Accelrys Materials Studio http://accelrys.com/products/materials-studio/
Ansys Fluent / Workbench http://www.ansys.com/products/fluid-dynamics/default.asp
Simulia Abaqus http://www.simulia.com/products/abaqus_fea.html
Feko http://www.feko.info/feko-product-info

Ansys Workbench 12.0 required libstdc++.so.5 but 12.1 now uses libstdc++.so.6.
However the amd64 version of 12.1 still requires an i386 libstdc++.so.5 for the geometry import function in ICEM CFD.
I think LP: #431091 is specifically for applications that require an i386 libstdc++.so.5, which won't be solved on amd64 even if gcc-3.3 is backported.  Some other applications are mentioned in LP: #436886.
