egcs-19980517, i586-linux-gnu: Trouble with _IO_getline_info

[Horst von Brand <vonbrand at sleipnir dot valparaiso dot cl>]

This is i586-redhat-linux,linux-2.1.104-1, glibc-2.0.94, binutils-2.9.1.0.6.
Note that not all of the pieces where built in this environment!

When I try to compile a standard C++ program:

#include <iostream>

main()

{
   cout << "Hello, world!" << endl;
   
   return 0;
}

I get the following:

[root@sleipnir /tmp]# c++ hello.cc
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so: undefined reference to `_IO_getline_info@@GLIBC_2.1'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

When I run the collect2 command gcc invokes, but substituting "-static
-lstdc++ -dynamic" for "-lstdc++", the problem goes away and the program
runs as it should.

What is going on here? Operator fault (very possible)? How come the C++
testcases in the compiler worked?! (No, not _really_ important to me, I use
C most of the time anyway, and might as well wait a week for the next
snapshot... (the library built with 19980525 shows the same problem) ;)

Thanks!
