Removal of c++filt causes g++ testsuite failures


Since around 9/20/2002, I've been getting g++ testsuite errors because
c++filt is missing.  E.g.:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2002-09/msg00697.html

 > ERROR: g++.dg/abi/rtti1.C: error executing dg-final: couldn't execute "c++filt": no such file or directory
 > UNRESOLVED: g++.dg/abi/rtti1.C: error executing dg-final: couldn't execute "c++filt": no such file or directory
 > ERROR: g++.dg/opt/vtgc1.C: error executing dg-final: couldn't execute "c++filt": no such file or directory
 > UNRESOLVED: g++.dg/opt/vtgc1.C: error executing dg-final: couldn't execute "c++filt": no such file or directory

This continues in 3.3 and 3.4 through the current CVS.

The removal of c++filt was discussed at length starting here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2002-09/subjects.html#00271

I see the problem on mips-irix6 and sparc-solaris2, but I guess all
configurations which use native as/ld utils (i.e. not binutils) will
have this issue.  David E also noted it on AIX here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2002-09/msg01288.html

The discussion died off without addressing this issue.  I'd like to
settle what to do about this particular problem so that we don't get
bogus noise in the testsuite results.

Would anyone like to suggest something?
