How do I select a version of libstdc+ to link against?

I'm sorry, but that is just giving the same problem as before.  In the case that the input stream contains valid Booleans, after the last Boolean is read, eof() is not true.  My understanding of the bug report that I referred to earlier, is that one must attempt to read past the end of the stream for eof() to return true, which won't happen in the normal case.
