--- Comment #5 from Markus Trippelsdorf <markus at trippelsdorf dot de> 2012-03-24 20:20:54 UTC --- It looks like a linker bug. I was able to reproduce the issue with Fedora17. $ ld -v GNU ld version 2.22.52.0.1-10.fc17 20120131 $ g++ x.cc -static-libstdc++ /usr/bin/ld: a.out: No symbol version section for versioned symbol `_ZSt15future_category@@GLIBCXX_3.4.14' /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Gold is fine: $ sudo ln -f /bin/ld.gold /bin/ld $ g++ x.cc -static-libstdc++ $
