--- Comment #5 from Benjamin Kosnik <bkoz at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-01-19 08:52:04 UTC --- As per #4, here's the convenience library approach. With this, libstdc++.so is composed of three convenience libraries: 1. libsupc++convenience.la 2. libstdc++98convenience.la 3. libstdc++11convenience.la This seems like it will work, but haven't reproduced this issue yet so can't tell for certain. I'm not exactly sure how to use these convenience libraries instead of libstdc++.a in the gcc build process. But perhaps somebody else can figure out that part....
