So, does that mean Apple did something they shouldn't have done?
These symbols (basically the implementation of the C++ runtime ABI)
are actually expected to be defined in both libstdc++ and libsupc++
so this in itself is not the smoking gun. The absence of libsupc++
does make me suspect that they might have "simplified" things by
not providing libsupc++. We'll need to confirm this with Apple.
Let me ask Howard Hinnant, their new libstdc++ guy.
According to Howard, Apple doesn't distribute libsupc++ with gcc 4
on OS X. Instead they make it available for download as part of their
Xcode development environment. See
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/xcode/
and
http://developer.apple.com/tools/download/.
