There is a need to control changes in external interfaces we use. For now I can easily list: 1) Sun Studio: - certain compiler flags - dwarf info - collect interface - er_print commands 2) GNU toolchain: - certain compiler flags - dwarf info We do need to create test suits that will produce an alarm if any of this interfaces does not work for us any more. It is especially important to create them for Sun Studio as the very first task after 6.8 and give these suits to corresponding teams or QA. GNU suites are less critical and might only be used by us to find incompatible changes interfaces in newer versions.
