Hm. Unfortunately, I think they will be again at some point soon. It sounds like when G++'s C++0x support is finalized, they're going to have to change the ABI of std::string and maybe a few other core classes. (okay, so, that's not a C++ ABI break, only an STL ABI change).

Do you have any reliable sources that state this?

There have been discussions to this effect on the GCC mailing list. It's not unsubstantiated scuttlebutt. (Perhaps a way will yet be found to avoid a std::string ABI change, but none is yet evident.)
