__dso_handle problem



Hello,

I recently tried to install the gcc-3.0 release on my glibc-2.1.3 based SuSE 
7.0 system, and encountered the tedious problem of not being able to properly 
build C++ binaries because of the linker's inability to resolve __dso_handle. 
I configured gcc with --enable-shared and --enable-threads.  A quick scan 
through the message list archives showed that many people had this problem, 
and suggested 

 * it might be related to some incompatiblity with glibc-2.1.3
 * or with GNU binutils
 * or with threading (possibly in conjunction with glibc version 2.1.3?)

I replaced SuSE's binutils 2.9.5.0 with binutils 2.11 and configured gcc, 
this time only with --enable-shared (without --enable-threads), and now it 
works out ok.

So it could be either my binutils were outdated or something with threading 
went wrong. Could someone clarify please?

Kind regards,
Florian
