Using the same reasoning, I added -nostdlib to SHDEPS, so as to avoid
libgcc.a too, and it worked.

However, libstdc++ including its own versions of symbols from libgcc
doesn't still sound right to me, especially if they may conflict with
symbols from other shared libraries.

Therefore, I suggest the attached patch for egcs' libstdc++, in
addition to the one you're installing in libg++ (preferrably modified
so that SHDEPS includes -nostdlib)

I'm not sure it doesn't break older releases of DEC OSF, though.

Is this ok to install?
