           Summary: dynamic_cast error / problems
           Product: gcc
           Version: 3.3
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: c++
        AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org
        ReportedBy: ruben at ugr dot es
                CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org
  GCC host triplet: i686-pc-linux-gnu

Using dynamic_cast gives a linker error. Some symbols fail to be generated.
Below is a small program which triggers the problem.
Similar problems give 'cannot dynamic_cast to pointer or reference to incomplete
type'
