[Bf-committers] Development Environments

[Antony Riakiotakis]

We face the same issues for all platforms. Recently I tried to build
blender with MinGW gcc 4.7 and it failed due to incompatibility
between 4.6 and 4.7 ABIs on libraries (thankfully all our libraries
still work with 4.6). We should add a notice of these issues on our
build pages too so interested builders don't find themselves wondering
why their builds crash on startup/fail to link. It must have been the
same for linux distros with our old linux lib folders, thankfully gone
now :)
