Re: c++ linking probs after gcc 3.0.3 upgrade

[Thomas <spiralman@softhome.net>]

ok,  i might try checking what glibc i need.  but the thing is, these 
problems im having dont seem to be related to libc (in my uninformed 
opinion).  i thought that libc was c only, not c++, and all the problems im 
having are with c++ specific things.  even if libc does have c++ functions in 
it __builtin_delete should be a function of a compiler.  isnt it whats added 
to the destructor of a class when you dont explicitly delete a member fo that 
class that you created with new?  so, i guess my question is, is this a libc 
problem or not, and if not, what is it a problem with.  the main reason im 
having problems is i dont really know where to look for something that is 
misconfigured or whatever...

thanks
