This is a Google-local fix to http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54482.
When configured with --with-pic, libstdc++.a includes versioned
symbols, preventing it from being linked into shared libraries. The
ultimate cause of this is a misuse of -DPIC as a proxy for, "I'm being
compiled into a shared library." Unfortunately, there is no obvious
alternative without first patching libtool.
This patch provides a temporary workaround for the google/* branches.
It creates new libtool options, -Xcompiler-static and
-Xcompiler-shared, which pass flags only when compiling static or
shared libraries, respectively. I then use the new machinery to pass
-UPIC to the static library compilations. This has the effect of
tricking libstdc++ into behaving properly.
Ideally, a new macro should be used, since there are legitimate cases
when PIC could be useful (e.g. in selecting between alternate assembly
implementations). However, the current approach is less likely to
break under future merge activity, since any new compatibility changes
should "just work."
Long term, the correct solution is to: (a) convert this to a suitable
libtool patch and push that upstream, (b) update GCC's libtool
version, and (c) rework the libstdc++ source files to key off a more
appropriate macro (e.g. SHARED_LIB). That's going to take some time,
though, especially since upgrading libtool is a major (and rare)
event.
Okay for google/integration and google/gcc-4_7?
Thanks,
Ollie

Add new libtool options -Xcompiler-shared and -Xcompiler-static.
Use this to remove versioned symbols from libstdc++.a when configured with
--with-pic.
