According to Alan Cox:

It definitely won't be compatible. There are several distinct
improvements in the g++ 3.0 ABI, each of which would result in binary
incompatibility with current g++.
But there's good news, too: The new ABI is cooperatively created and
documented, so things are looking good for long-term bincompat from
g++ 3.0 forwards.
