>Description:
The following piece of code will crash HP's system linker
(B.10.37) when trying to build a shared library:

  struct X { virtual ~X();  };
  struct Y { virtual void foo(); };
  struct W : public X, public Y { virtual void foo(); };
  struct Q : public W { };
  void bar() { Q q; }

I know it mustn't be gcc's fault as /usr/bin/ld is at
least partly guilty because of it's fatal reaction.
But where is the real problem ?
