Re: ld 2.9.5 and gcc 2.95.2 libstdc++-v3

This issue seems generally applicable to everybody on this list, so I 
think it makes sense to just discuss it in public, if that's ok with you.

Can you please provide specifics on the platform you are using, and 
versions and configure options for the various items in question.
(g++, libstdc++, ld, as, binutils, os type and version.)

If you could provide example code, it would help clarify the issue.


That being said, there has been some discussion of libstdc++-v3 ld issues 
on the binutils list. You might want to check out posts on binutils by 
both me, Ulrich Drepper, and Phil Edwards, and perhaps others.

?

No idea.

If it's consistent, perhaps you could help use reproduce it.....
