The gzipped hsw.ii temp file

This has been answered before, you have to bootstrap with --with-pic.

Ok, now I had more time to look into this. We got gcc-3.2.3, and compiled
the libstdc++ with --with-pic. Now the issue looks slightly different:
On Sparc/Solaris-7, there is no problem at all (sparc-sun-solaris2.7).

But on Linux (i686-pc-linux-gnu) the problem remains: I keep getting the error:

/opt/gcc_3.2.3/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.3/../../../../i686-pc-linux-
gnu/bin/ld: ../blib/arch/auto/Verilog/Preproc/Preproc.so: undefined versioned 
symbol name std::time_put_w@@GLIBCPP_3.2
/opt/gcc_3.2.3/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.3/../../../../i686-pc-linux-
gnu/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Few observations I made, hope that this helps:
$ nm /opt/gcc_3.2.3/lib/libstdc++.so | grep time_put_w
000ae294 b _ZN9__gnu_cxx10time_put_wE
000ae294 B _ZSt10time_put_w@@GLIBCPP_3.2
$ nm /opt/gcc_3.2.3/lib/libstdc++.a | grep time_put_w
000004b4 B _ZN9__gnu_cxx10time_put_wE
000004b4 B _ZSt10time_put_w@@GLIBCPP_3.2
         U _ZN9__gnu_cxx10time_put_wE

On Solaris, there is no symbol containing "time_put_w" at all, and there are no 
symbols with GLIBCPP_3.2 either.
Is there any option which has to be set?
Please let me know if you need any further information/files/...

Delete (or move) the shared library and try again?

> Delete (or move) the shared library and try again?

I already made sure that the libstdc++.so is not used.
But here is what I did:
$ pushd /opt/gcc_3.2.3/lib
$ mkdir .dis
$ mv libstdc++.so* libstdc++.la .dis
$ popd
$ g++ -save-temps -v -shared -o hsw.so hsw.cpp -lstdc++

By the way: /usr/local/* is empty on that host.

The binutils are the latest ones:
$ which ld
/opt/gcc_3.2.3/bin/ld
$ ld --version
GNU ld version 2.14 20030612

Let me know if you need anything else...

This must be a bug in binutils as the static library does not contain references to versioned 
functions.

I'm afraid that you're mistaken, please see the output of nm, which
contains a couple of ...@@GLIBCPP_3.2
What is the resolution of the problem anyway? What do I have to do to make
it work?

Output of nm -C libstdc++.a

nm is from binutils 2.14

Still not a bug, you have to use also libstdc++'s linker script to do your shared library.

*** Bug 13805 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Andrew, can you explain in a bit more detail why this shouldn't work? I thought versioned symbols 
should be specific to _shared_ libraries... Thanks.

Fixed for 3.4, the problem was a libtool bug.

Okay, good. I just confirmed here too that it's fixed with 3.4 branch (and so 3.4.0 will not have this 
problem).

Thanks for looking into this again! I meanwhile found a work-around for gcc
3.3.2. Looking through the various configure scripts I found the undocumented
option --disable-symvers. Bootstrapping the compiler with this option fixes the
problem (hopefully without bad side effects).

Looking forward to the 3.4 release ...

(In reply to Dirk Walther from comment #14)
thanks for this hint, however I understand it requires recompile of gcc
