there is an rld error when using makeinfo:

> ./makeinfo
 6459:./makeinfo: rld: Error: unresolvable symbol in
/usr/lib32/libiflPNG.so: __vtbl__9type_info
 6459:./makeinfo: rld: Error: unresolvable symbol in
/usr/lib32/libiflPNG.so: __T_9__nothrow
 6459:./makeinfo: rld: Error: unresolvable symbol in
/usr/lib32/libifl.so: __pure_virtual_called
 6459:./makeinfo: rld: Error: unresolvable symbol in
/usr/lib32/libifl.so: __nw__GUi
 6459:./makeinfo: rld: Error: unresolvable symbol in
/usr/lib32/libifl.so: __vtbl__9type_info
 6459:./makeinfo: rld: Error: unresolvable symbol in
/usr/lib32/libifl.so: __T_9__nothrow
 6459:./makeinfo: rld: Fatal Error: this executable has unresolvable
symbols


the command to build makeinfo is:
> cc -g  -o makeinfo  makeinfo.o multi.o ../lib/libtxi.a
../intl/libintl.a -lz

removing the -lz avoids the bug:
> cc -g  -o makeinfo  makeinfo.o multi.o ../lib/libtxi.a
../intl/libintl.a
> ./makeinfo
makeinfo: missing file argument.
Try `makeinfo --help' for more information.



second:
-----

when using g++ with <string> for example, it looks et headers in:
installdir/include/g++-2

> make CXXFLAGS="-v" toto
g++ -v    toto.cc   -o toto

I was obliged to make a link called g++-2 to g++.
