+g++5 ABI test tool
+==================
+
+This is a simple tool to test a system for g++5's libstdc++ at runtime.
+
+GCC5.1 introduced a new library ABI for the C++ standard library.
+The old 3.4 .. 5.0 ABI is not compatible.
+
+Some GNU/Linux distributions systems switched to the new ABI already
+and compile plugins with the new gcc.
+
+If a plugin uses a c++ library that is also shipped with ardour-bundles,
+the ABI of that library must match. Currently known cases: gtkmm, glibmm.
+
+e.g. Ingen or eq10q provided by a distro compiled with gcc5 will not
+load in Ardour as provided by ardour.org compiled with gcc4 because ardour
+ships an incompatible gtkmm, glibmm, cairomm, ...
+
+The plugin will fail to load. For example:
+
+```
+suil error: Unable to open UI library /usr/lib/lv2/sapistaEQv2.lv2/gui/eq10qs_gui.so (/usr/lib/lv2/sapistaEQv2.lv2/gui/eq10qs_gui.so: undefined symbol: _ZN4Glib7ustringC1ERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEE)
+suil error: Unable to open UI library /usr/lib/lv2/vocproc.lv2/vocproc_gui.so (/usr/lib/lv2/vocproc.lv2/vocproc_gui.so: undefined symbol: _ZN3Gtk7Builder13add_from_fileERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEE)
+lilv_lib_open(): error: Failed to open library /usr/lib/lv2/ingen.lv2/libingen_lv2.so (/usr/lib/libingen.so.0: undefined symbol: _ZN4Glib6ModuleC1ERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEENS_11ModuleFlagsEEE)
+```
+
+ie `Glib::ustring::ustring(std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&)`
+
+
+Compilation
+-----------
+
+This tool must be compiled on a system with gcc5.1 or later.
+
+   make
+
+will fail the resulting binary does not use the new __cxx11 ABI.
+The resulting binary will *not* run on systems with only the old ABI.
+
+For convenience (packaging gcc4 builds), pre-compiled binaries are included.
+
+
+Check
+-----
+
+The idea is to include the precompiled binaries in the installer
+
+ - Ardour/gcc-4 installer must fail if the binary runs
+ - Ardour/gcc-5 installer must fail if the binary does not run
