> GCC is very vocal on how they don't support ABI compatibility,

What? Apart from bugs, GCC has maintained backward compatibility for more than a decade, for both the compiler ABI and the standard library.

They were forced to break ABI for c++11 to implement the new string and list semantics, but the old ABI is still available.
