+=== How to deal with GCC >= 5.1 C++11 ABI on Linux ===
+
+Starting with GCC 5.1, GCC links against [https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/using_dual_abi.html libstdc++ using the C++11 ABI]. This cause issues with FileGDB ABI SDK (at least with 1.4 and earlier versions) which are provided using the old C++ ABI.
+
+You'll get linking issues such as 
+{{{
+.libs/libgdal.so: undefined reference to `FileGDBAPI::Geodatabase::Delete(std::__cxx11::basic_string<wchar_t, std::char_traits<wchar_t>, std::allocator<wchar_t> > const&, std::__cxx11::basic_string<wchar_t, std::char_traits<wchar_t>, std::allocator<wchar_t> > const&)'
+.libs/libgdal.so: undefined reference to `FileGDBAPI::Row::SetFloat(std::__cxx11::basic_string<wchar_t, std::char_traits<wchar_t>, std::allocator<wchar_t> > const&, float)'
+}}}
+
+To workaround this, run configure with:
+{{{
+$ CXXFLAGS="-D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0" ./configure --with-fgdb=/usr/local/FileGDB_API
+}}}
+
+Note that by doing so, you might have issues if using C++ gdal dependencies built with the new ABI, or if using GDAL in a C++ software built with the new ABI. No perfect solution exists until ESRI releases a new binary compiled with the new libstdc++ ABI.
