I understand that bugzilla is not a hotline, but we would not need
to be harsh when users take the time to report what appear to be
problems when using our products -- at least if we want the process to
be useful to both users and us.
Jean-Paul has been active in C++ standardization efforts and
software business for long time now (he was among the first persons
who introduced me to the French national body and the ISO C++
committee) and I don't think he want us to solve his problem for him.
Rather, I believe he is reporting something he thinks might be a
fundamental problem with our library. I believe we do welcome such
reports. I also understand that the path "the solution" might not be
easy.

|
| #if __GLIBC__ > 2 || (__GLIBC__ == 2 && __GLIBC_MINOR__ > 2)
| namespace __gnu_cxx
| {
| extern "C" __typeof(uselocale) __uselocale;
| }
| #endif
|
| Then, we can actually understand whether the problem begins at GCC configure
| and build time.
Thanks, that suggestion is very muich appreciated.
