Comment (by mgaunard):

 GCC has had a stable ABI since 4.0. Since it has many versions, it is very
 common for libraries that are shipped in binary form to be linked against
 code that uses a different version of GCC.
 Boost.Log is the only Boost library with this issue as far as I know, and
 the fix is quite simple, so I don't see a good reason not to include it if
 it fixes real deployment problems in the industry.

 Arguably a better fix would be to have a sane ABI that doesn't change
 depending on compiler version, but that's more work.
