------- Additional Comments From danglin at gcc dot gnu dot org 2004-12-31 05:52 ------- It seems that the assembler message is somewhat misleading. The problem would seem to be due to the fact that the symbol "_ZNSt6locale13_S_categoriesE" is not output in the .s but the 'V' apparently indicates static storage and local scope. This problem doesn't occur at -O0.
