Segmentation fault in __register_frame_info

[Alex Ivershen <alex dot ivershen at inet dot com>]

Sirs,

I am sorry for not going throough the GNATS system - it won't let me
submit the bug saying that "Priority is high" ... I have to revert to
e-mail.
The system I am working on was always compiled with gcc 2.95.3 for
Solaris 2.6 and was functional for a long time. Having upgraded to
Solaris 2.8 I have rebuilt gcc 2.95.3 for 2.8 platform (we cannot use
later versions of GCC because of their fuller ISO compliance - too much
legacy code will have to be fixed). With the new compiler any
application that uses my shared libraries is core dumping in
__register_frame_info. I have recreated the problem consistently with a
trivial test:

FILE ONE - Test.cpp
-------------------
extern printHello ()
int main ()
 {
 printHello();
 }

FILE TWO - Shared.cpp
---------------------
#include <stdio.h>
void printHello ()
 {
 printf ("Hi there!\n");
 }

The second one is compiled into a shared library as follows:
gcc -Wall -c -g -o Shared.o Shared.cpp
gcc -Wall -shared Shared.o -o libshared.so -lgcc -lstdc++
The first one is then linked to it:
gcc -Wall -o Test Test.cpp -L. -lshared
When running the Test program, I get seg fault, here is gdb
backtrace:

Please, help me with this one!!! If you need any other information,
holler at me right away. I sincerely hope that it's a known issue with
a simple fix! Looking forward to any comments.

Yours,
