I should point out that my versions of gcc-2.7.2 and out libg++-2.7.1 were
built with the 2.1.0R assembler and NOT the current GNU release one. You
can use binutils-2.6 to make static libraries ('cause I've tried this),
but, although I haven't tried to build a shared libg++ library with it
recently, I wouldn't expect it to work. This is because the BFD support
in the utilities doesn't have the necessary code to generate FreeBSD style
shared library information. What it needs is someone to invested a fair
bit of time developing it.
I do hear that when FreeBSD finally starts using the current GNU binutils,
it'll be when they switch over to ELF format binaries.
I am, hope you are to.
