------- Comment #11 from jzb2 at aexorsyst dot com 2009-02-02 16:26 ------- Well, I answered my own question, sort of...
In my /usr/bin/libtool, in the CXX tag section, I have postdeps="-lstdc++ -lm -lgcc_s -lc -lgcc_s" so voila, that's where it comes from, probably. So this issue can now be reduced to the following: Native builds and cross-compiles of libstdc++.so override this postdeps and zero it out. However, using a cross-compiler to generate host=target native compiler with build!=host leaves it pulled in, being responsible, I believe, for this bug. Whether that's a libtool bug or a libstdc++ configure bug remain unanswered... Maybe this is a new wrinkle that newish versions of libtool have and perhaps has not needed to be dealt with before. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35942
