egcs-1.0.3/libc 5 problems

[Robert Krawitz]

I'm trying to build the Rogue Wave libraries (C++) and having
problems.  I'm using the binaries on sunsite.unc.edu (/pub/Linux/GCC)
with libc 5.4.44.
 
1) libgcc is included twice in the following link line (to build a
shared object).  This causes multiple definition problems for some
reason (might be a linker bug, but whatever).  If it matters, I'm
using binutils 2.8.1.0.23.
 
% g++ -shared -Xlinker --whole-archive -v -o librwtool.so librwtoolns.a

2) This file does not compile.  This is a simple file used to
determine compliance with the STL:

#include <algorithm>
#include <functional>
#include <utility>
#include <iterator>
#include <set>
#include <list>
#include <vector>
int main() {
list<int,allocator> aList;
return 0;
}

% g++ -c foo.C
foo.C: In function `int main()':
foo.C:9: `allocator' undeclared (first use this function)
foo.C:9: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
foo.C:9: for each function it appears in.)
foo.C:9: type/value mismatch at argument 1 in template parameter list for `template <class T, class Alloc = class __default_alloc_template<false,0>> list<T,Alloc>'
foo.C:9:   expected a type, got `{error}'
