Hi Andreas!

Thanks for your bug report.

Well, I've actually (mostly) copied pre-egcs-1.0.3a's libstdc++ and hacked it
somewhat to get a working version for gcc-2.8.1; so, it shouldn't be too
difficult, to add the changes you've mentioned, too.

Unfortunately, I'm nearly off-line until 21st of Oct., hence I'll only be
able to create the changes afterwards. Since I don't have glibc 2.0.98
around here, may I send them to you and you'll then tell me, if they work OK?

Well, I feel myself mostly as the "packager", the actual development is done
by SGI and egcs' developers.
