Re: problems with the recent snapshot (971207)

[Paul Henning <phenning at cs dot uiowa dot edu>]

I'm refering to egcs-971207 on linux-2.1.71, glibc-2.0.5c with the
following config:

../egcs-971207/configure --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr/local/app/egcs --enable-shared --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --norecursion 
# using "../egcs-971207/config/mh-x86pic" and "../egcs-971207/config/mt-x86pic"


I have the same problem the Tudor is having, which appears to be
similar to the problem Jim Peterson was having
(e.g. http://www.cygnus.com/ml/egcs-bugs/1997-Dec/0106.html).

Essentially, this program won't link:

===
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string>
int main(void) { string s = "Hello, world"; cout << s << endl; return 0; }
===

Just to be sure that I am not running into old C++ libraries, I moved
all the libstc++* and libg++* files (not egcs) to a junk directory and
re-ran ldconfig.  Just to be really-really sure, I renamed
/usr/include/g++ as well.

When I do a "make bootstrap; make -k check", I run into tons of errors
during the g++ tests because ld.so can't find libstd++.so.2.8.0.
Annoying, but fixable.  Re-running "make -k check", I run into the
following failures during libstdc++ check:

output is:

[plus a lot of other similar errors]


so, tstring.cc compilation and tstring.cc -O compilation fail unexpectedly.

What else can I provide to help resolve this?
