The std::list incompatibility has been reverted, so only GCC versions 4.7.0 and 4.7.1 are incompatible with other versions. The same releases had an ABI bug with passing std::pair, which has also been fixed now. There are some other differences still that result in (mostly harmless) ODR violations. The new plan is to implement custom attributes that affect name mangling to allow C++03/C++11 interoperability, see http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2012-07/msg00100.html

(And, gosh, that's embarrassing: the revert, like the implemntation, was done by my own co-worker just last month and I didn't notice until I made a fool of myself in this thread. I must pay more attention!)

Excellent news! The mangling change proposed in the mail you link to seems ever so much better than a silent ABI change.
