I'm sorry, I'm confused now. What was calling g++ ?

No. libsupc++ === language support library for C++. All of the code
    necessary for supporting the C++ runtime is either in libsupc++ or
    libgcc . What is troubling me (as a user of gcc; I'm not a
    developer) is that most users should not need to know about libgcc
    and libsupc++, but problems related to them keep turning up on
    this list. However, so far I haven't encountered these problems
    myself.

No, you shouldn't, not if you are using 'g++' to link. I can agree
    with being happy because it works but I am afraid the real problem
    has not been solved but instead has merely been sent back into
    dormancy. Hopefully I  am wrong. :-)
