EGCS-1.1.2: static class member not linking.

[Brendan Simon]

egcs version 1.1.2.
RedHat 5.2 GNU/Linux operating system

I have a class with some data members being declared static.  Some of
the members link properly and some do not.  I have the same problem with
egcs-1.1.2 using cygwin.  This sample program (invoked with g++ -Wall -o
static.cc shows the problem.

// FILE : static.cc

class FOO
{
    public :
        void        f1();
        int         a;
        static int  b;
};

void FOO::f1()
{
    a += b;
}

int main()
{
    FOO foo;
    foo.f1();
    return 0;
}

// END : static.cc
