vtables local on HP-PA -> even libstdc++ does not link

[Marco Franzen]

gcc_ss_20001023 cannot link a trivial program against its libstdc++ on the HP-PA.

#include <iostream>
int main() { cout << "Hello world\n"; return 0; }

links as follows

GNU C++ version 2.97 20001023 (experimental) (hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20) compiled by GNU C version 2.97 20001023 (experimental).

I picked stdiobuf virtual table and looked for vt.*stdiobuf in the output of nm run on the library.
There are only two occurrences:

stdiostream.o:
[...]
40000030 d _vt$8stdiobuf

and
stdstrbufs.o:
[...]
         U _vt$8stdiobuf

Note the lower case of the `d' in the former (GNU nm with no further options).
In 2.95.2 objects, virtual tables show an upper case `D' in the nm output.

I tried one earlier snapshot, with the same result.
Two snapshots earlier it did not even bootstrap.
I haven't tried going further back (apart from an attempt many months ago).

I am using the released binutils-2.10 for gas (plus installed patch
< http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2000-09/msg00263.html >)
and GNU sed 3.02 instead of the broken HP one.
(Without GNU as it still does not bootstrap due to the colon in `gcc2_compiled.:',
as reported in March as the second issue in
< http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-bugs/2000-03/msg01236.html >.)

Any idea? Maybe Jeff again?

Thanks a lot,

Marco
