g++ Problems

[David Ronis <ronis at montroll dot chem dot mcgill dot ca>]

I've been having some problems with g++ on an i686 Slackware-7.0
system.  I reported a simple testcase in

         http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/2000-01/msg00269.html

but I've realized that the problem may be something else.  If I try my
test on another machine (i586, linux-2.2.14, gcc-2.2.95, glibc-2.1.2)
there are no problems.

In addition, I've posted testresults for the lastest snapshot on this
machine and on an i586 at

     http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2000-01/msg00078.html

and

     http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2000-01/msg00095.html

respectively.  There is a huge difference in g++ failures on the two
machines.  I used gcc-2.95.2 to build glibc-2.1.2 on the i586 but have
used the default Slackware glibc-2.1.2 on the i686 (compiled with
egcs-1.1.2, the default compiler, I presume).

Presumably some library is no longer compatible.  Any idea what?  Of
course, if it's the glibc-2.1.2 library, how do I go about fixing this
without breaking everything else on my system?
