 Those fail due to the problem with a missing external symbol
"__vt$9type_info"/"type info virtual table" that I reported first
last week and re-reported yesterday. This is a clear regression
from egcs-1.1. It has to do with the fact that gcc now issues
a ".weakext" directive, where it issued a ".globl" before.
As a result the above symbolare no longer seen by other object
modules. For the testsuite, all tests linking to libcc/libstdc++
will fail.

 I will look into the problem a little further later this week.
It may be actually a problem of the SGI assembler or linker not
making ".weakext" symbols globally visible. But of course, it also
could be a problem in egcs :-)

 This fails due to "recursive IO"

 I actually wonder why you pass the objc suite. On my irix-6.5
configuration all the execution tests fail (something like "class
not found").

 If you do not use "--enable-shared", all the g++ related problems
move from "execution" to "compilation", as the missing symbol is
detected earlier in a "static" link.
