shared libraries failing to link on Solaris

[Martin Sebor <sebor at roguewave dot com>]

Hi,

we're having trouble building shared libraries with g++ 2.95.2 that use
libstc++ on Solaris 5.7 and 5.8. Below's a simple source for a shared
lib that when we try to link produces linker errors. Is this a known
bug? 

As is apparent from the compiler output, we're using Sun's as and ld --
might this have something to do with the problem? Any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks
Martin


$ cat > t.cpp
#include <iostream.h>

int foo () {
    cout << "foo\n";
}

$ g++ -v -fPIC -shared t.cpp -o t.so
