Sun4 RTTI SIGSEGV Headache

[James Bourne <james at sublime dot com dot au>]

All,

uname -a: SunOS hertz 5.5.1 Generic sun4m sparc SUNW,SPARCstation-5
g++ -v: gcc version egcs-2.91.60 19981201 (egcs-1.1.1 release) + binutils
2.9.1

This sample code below works fine on Linux 2.0.36 (egcs-2.90.29) and NT
VC6SP2 but core dumps on the Sparc when I: g++ -O3 -fno-rtti main.cxx.

I don't know what to do next?! Is this a buggy egcs lib? Solaris lib? I
have RTFM'ed and FAQ'ed but have come up with zilch. Any suggestions why
this might be occuring or how to fix it?

Interestingly the Linux a.out is 7Kb but the Solaris is 410Kb! Something is
getting statically linked that I don't know about?

Many thanks in advance,

James Bourne
