Great.
Thanks for the pointer Paolo, I have found the thread you are talking about:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/libstdc++/2005-05/msg00277.html
Ugh. This gets considerably more complicated if -march=x changes
things. We would need some way of detecting that (say) i486 code was
trying to be linked with i386 code....
hmmm...

A ha! Yes, well, I'm interested in this (separate) issue as well. I
found the FSF decision most unfortunate.
If you do a BOF at the gcc summit, can you or somebody take notes and
post minutes on the gcc list?
