There's a general policy of not using STL/libstdc++ stuff in libjava, but libgcjx is an exception. Perhaps we could look at changing it. Then again I'm not really sure what a good alternative is, obviously we cant keep native pointers in Java collections.

It is supposed to do something like that already. The file src/libstdc++.INC from your libstdc++-v3 build directory should get appended to the c++ command lines somehow. I'm not exactly sure how this mechanism works, but it does work for me.

I've heard reports of this problem but havn't been able to reproduce it. What is your exact configure line and build procedure?

As Tom mentioned, configuring with "--without-x" would be a reasonable workaround.
