Thank you for your report.

As I understand B key method is auto generated ~B() and compiler
creates it in main compilation unit with type_info object. Even this
object never been used compiler creates it anyway. Right?
So type_info for B needs type_info for A and ask linker to find it.
Linker can't find it, because A key method and vtable was created with
-fno-rtti.

And the last question: does the type_info object for B really need in
main.cpp or compiler creates it just in case?
