--- Comment #8 from Larry Baker <baker at usgs dot gov> 2012-09-22 01:45:31 UTC --- After changing --with-host-libstdcxx back to --with-host-libstdcxx='-static-libgcc -Wl,-Bstatic,-lstdc++,-Bdynamic -lm' the build succeeds for Linux i386. I am sure LINKER was set to gcc in this case. I am rebuilding without --with-host-libstdcxx to verify that the cross compiler can be built when LINKER is set to g++ for Linux i386. After that, I'll try to use a newer GCC on CentoS Linux i386 and try again with --with-host-libstdcxx='-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -lm'. This seems to be the more modern equivalent on more recent gcc/g++ compilers. I found 4.6 and 4.7 compilers include both -static-libgcc and -static-libstdc++ (strings host-gcc/g++-compiler | grep [-]static[-]). You can probably reclassify this case from a bug to a feature request.
