Bug 1208

It is a gcc bug which has been fixed in CVS.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 1025 ***

BTW, the linker bug is also fixed in CVS.

Reopen.

The problem is caused by

#pragma GCC visibility push(hidden)

which needs support from glibc and libstdc++ as well as gcc. My modified gcc
4.0 gave:
