Mika....welcome back!
The LSB 2.0 appears to be a mess with regards to c++/gcc and ABI
versions. I would not be in favor of doing an s/v1.3/v2.0 change to the
CGL 2.0.1 spec.
However, distros will likely certify with either LSB v1.3 OR LSB v2.0.
The question is whether certifying a distro with LSB v2.0 meets the
registration criteria for the CGL v2.0.1 spec. I would say that either
one should be acceptable. Perhaps the only wording change to the CGL
2.0.1 spec would be for LSB v1.3 or later.
