Just noticed that due to errors in cppuhelper/source/compat.cxx we
inadvertently become backwards incompatible in the ABI of the cppuhelper
dynamic library in LibreOffice 4.0 and 4.1. However, this only affects
symbols representing deprecated, unused C++ functions that we
deliberately removed and for which we left aborting stubs in
cppuhelper/source/compat.cxx (attempting to not deliberately break the ABI);

In a sense, it is a good thing that apparently nobody else noticed this. ;)
I fixed that now on master towards LibreOffice 4.2 with
<http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=69f1846f4095a9dc607a0e568980d8625d657c94>
"All the content of cppuhelper/source/compat.cxx must be in namespace
cppu" and requested backports to libreoffice-4-0
(<https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/6098/>) and libreoffice-4-1
(<https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/6097/>) branches.
