Hi John,

Thanks for the patch you sent with your previous email; I observed the
same failures when Mark installed his patch to  warn about using named
return values.  I took a differend approach  than you, i.e. instead of
removing  the code completely, I used  the opposite logic  with a flag
_G_USE_NRV  as  opposed to the  former   _G_NO_NRV; I've attached that
patch to this email.

Regarding the missing   weak symbols,  I'm pretty   much  at a   loss;
building Fix.cc and  Rational.cc  doesn't generate all  required  weak
symbols as  it  did  before; even worse,   using  a reduced test  case
doesn't fail to  generate those symbols...  I'll dig  further and keep
you informed.

Cheers.
