Package: g++-4.1 Version: 4.1.1-13 Severity: minor Hello,
Apropos the recent posting by Christian Aichinger and his checklib scripts with output at http://rerun.lefant.net/checklib. Some of these problems (at least in the case of swish++) are caused by the fact that when "g++" is used in the link phase of the compilation it adds "-lm -lgcc_s" and so on to the call to "collect2". This means that libraries whose symbols are not to be found in the binary are still listed as NEEDED in it. This creates additional dependecies etc. This appears to be a known and "wontfix" problem with g++. See for example this thread: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-01/msg00229.html For now the only solution seems to be to *not* use "g++" to perform the linking and instead use "gcc" with the additional "-lstdc++" command line argument. The "-Wl,--as-needed" switch may also work.
