egcs-1.0 on RH5.0/alpha and octave

[Peter Speier]

I tried to compile octave on an alpha running RH5.0, using egcs1.0 
with the patches egcs-1.0.diff and libg++2.8.0b6.5.tar.gz by H.J.Lu 
as suggested by D.A. Gilbert on axp-list@redhat.com.


The compiler configured, bootstraped and installed without a problem.
The test results are listed at the end.

To compile octave, I had to add -fguiding-decls to the compiler flags.

The final linking failed with repeated messages like the following, 
all related to the "complex"- and "string"-classes:

 /home/speier/octave-2.0.9/src/log.cc:69: 
	undefined reference to `log(complex<double> const &)'

/home/speier/octave-2.0.9/src/log.cc:212: 
	undefined reference to `sqrt(complex<double> const &)'

...and...

./liboctinterp.a(dirfns.o): In function `Fls(octave_value_list const &, int)':
/home/speier/octave-2.0.9/src/dirfns.cc:389: 
	undefined reference to `operator<<(ostream &, basic_string<char, string_char_traits<char> > const &)'


My question: Could this be due to the switch -fguiding-decls somehow, 
is this a library problem, or is it just me overlooking something obvious?

Any help is very much appreciated.
