RFC: Revitalization of the x86_gcc2 ecosystem

It sure can, it just needs a modern C++ toolchain and a modern C++ library, which is what I am advocating for.

Why are we still preferring to have two sets of compilers and libraries when we could just have one?

Again, even if we use the ABI compat layer strategy, we would need to have a tool that knows both ABIs. Then we’ll need to handle all the marshalling edge cases…
