Installation hitch

[barney at russell dot ee dot umist dot ac dot uk (Barnaby Pitt)]

Hi.

I've installed egcs-1.0.1 semi-successfully on Sparc-Sun-Solaris2.5.

My problem is that I can't seem to link with some of the standard library
when using -fguiding-decls (which the compiler keeps telling me to use
when I try to compile code developed under gcc-2.7.2).

// test.cc
#include<string>
#include<iostream.h>
#include<iomanip.h>

int main()
{cout << setw(20) << string("Hello World\n");
}
// end test.c

Results:

>g++ -fguiding-decls test.cc
Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
operator<<(ostream &, basic_string<char, string_char_traits<char> > const 
&)/var/tmp/cca000ii1.o
operator<<(ostream &, smanip<int> const &)/var/tmp/cca000ii1.o
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to a.out
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
>g++ test.cc
>a.out
Hello World
>

Is this a known bug?

Can I skirt round it by specifying exactly where to find the
library object files (I've tried building and linking with
bastring.cc but that didn't help)?

What exactly is -fguiding-decls (I don't see it anywhere in the info
pages)?

Any help greatly appreciated.
