Re: How do I add missing stdc functions to libstdc++-v3?

I have been trying to determine why this does not happen and how to fix it. I assumed (incorrectly) that it was related to some configuration files, but perhaps it has to do with libtool, collect2 or ld? Also please note that all these are static libraries because NEXTSTEP does not support building of shared libraries.
What I'm suggesting is that you need to investigate how libstdc++ is
built and whether it is being linked with -lsupc++. If it's a static
library then libstdc++.a should include the entire contents of
libsupc++.a. Presumably that is not happening for some reason; you will
need to look at how libstdc++ is built to find out why not.
Unfortunately my first guess would some sort of libtool issue on
NEXTSTEP. That is unfortunate because libtool is a complex, difficult
to understand, shell script.
