Hello.
C++ programs don't link anymore with gcc > 4.5.3 and eglibc 2.15 with OPTION_EGLIBC_LOCALE_CODE=n.
It seems that gcc/libstdc++-v3/acinclude.m4 doesn't check for bugs in early glibc-2.2.x series anymore. So, it doesn't detect the lack of newlocale, duplocale, freelocale, nl_langinfo_l and uselocale. On the other hand, there is a new test for the presence of uclibc (!defined(__UCLIBC__)).
I solved the problem with the '--enable-clocale=generic' option when configuring gcc.
So my question to the gcc team is : "should gcc detect the lack of these functions with eglibc" , or using --enable-clocale=generic is the good practice ?
Regards.
Paul.
P.S. can you cc me your reply please ?
