FreeBSD 3.2 and 100k C++ programs.

["James L. Davis" <jld at rconnect dot com>]

 Hello,
 
 I just installed egcs 1.1.2 on FreeBSD 3.2 and it's behaving odd.

 C programs compile with the standard "gcc program.c" and link shared by
default.  However, C++ programs link semi-shared.  C++ programs link
staticly with libstdc++.a and listg++.a but link libc and libm shared.

 So, a compiled and linked C++ program ends up being 100-600k and here is
its ldd output..
 
 a.out:
         libm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libm.so.2 (0x28065000)
         libc.so.2 => /usr/lib/libc.so.3 (0x2807f000)

 When I compiled the same program, this time, with my old 2.7.2.1 version
of gcc/g++. The resulting binary is 7k and its ldd output is..

a.out    libg++.so.4 => /usr/lib/libg++.so.4 (0x28063000)
	 libstdc++.so.2 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2 (0x280a0000)
	 libm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libm.so.2 (0x280d7000)
	 libc.so.3 => /usr/lib/libc.so.3 (0x280f1000)

 I tried building egcs with --enable-shared and
--enable-version-specific-runtime-libs. Both of which did nothing.

 Suggestions are appreciated, please send directly to my address
