Egcs-1.1.1 can´t compile the current libstdc++-v3 snapshot (libstdc++-2.90.6pre1). According to the FAQ, egcs 1.1.1 should not be a problem. Perhaps this will affect the libstdc++-Team as well. The problem is the file bits/std_ostream.h, included by src/misc-inst.cc. Command line: g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I$DIR/src -I.. -nostdinc++ -I$DIR -I$DIR/stl \ -I$DIR/libio -g -D_GNU_SOURCE -fno-implicit-templates -fimplicit-templates -c \ -fPIC -DPIC -$FNAME -o ./libs/misc-inst.lo with DIR= ~/listdc++-2.90.6pre1 FNAME= $DIR/src/misc-inst.cc Happy fixing.
