Yup, this problem was discussed on libstdc++ and a report
was posted to binutils (and libstdc++):

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libstdc++/2000-06/msg00125.html

There was a *lot* of followup that spanned both mailing lists.

The final result was a patch to binutils 2.10.  This issue was not
considered important enough to halt the binutils 2.10 release since
they expect another release of binutils before GCC 3.0 ships (which
might/will use libstdc++ v3 by default)...
