DJ said that libstdc++ was doing something inconsistent: forbidding link tests for cross-compilation, and then doing a link test anyways. Daniel says that's not what actually happens, which means that my "just busted" comment is incorrect; that was a description of the situation as it would have been had DJ been correct. My comments about how to fix the hypothetical problem were meant to be general comments, not specific comments about symbol versions. If there's already an option, then we've already got one of the solutions I was suggesting. In general, I just want to make sure we don't do things that make cross or Canadian-cross builds behave differently from native compilation. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery [EMAIL PROTECTED] (650) 331-3385 x713
