Upon some further probing, this is the most lucid explanation I found: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=608029 In other words, since typeinfo is not weak on the ARM architectures, linking in such a manner is not supported. So, I'll have to either work around this limitation, or skip running the tests (which I'll consider as a last resort). Thanks.
