I tried to recompile everything with -fno-vtable-thunks,
unfortunately now a simple hello world program segfaults
somewhere in the iostream library..........

I added -fno-vtable-thunks to MYCXXFLAGS in libstdc++/Makefile.in 
and recompiled it. Is this the right place to do
the change? This is interesting even if I in the future try out the
thunk-patch, since I need to recompile the library in that case too.

I used CVS to checkout the latest source. How do I apply Martin's
patch to my copy? Sorry for my complete lack of knowledge about cvs
diffs......

This bug is a showstopper for my project, so I really need a
workaround.... :-| (or even better! a fix! ;-) )

Cheers
