Hello,

I have been pulling my hair out trying to get the latest version of
libstdc++.so.2.7.2.  However, I keep getting this error when it is linking:

ld: exceptioni.o: relocation must refer to global symbol at 0x27f

It is trying to link the files in the pic/ directory.  However, when I try
to do:

ld -Bshareable -o libstdc++.so.2.7.2 from the libstdc++ directory (i.e.
code compiled without the -fpic option), it seems to make this shared
library no problem (although, I do not know if it works yet).  

Any ideas about what is doing on?

Thanks.

Robin.
