egcs is broken for C++ in some ways - its been discussed elsewhere,
on redhat-axp for example.
Its not a libc issue, egcs just dumps core or produces a horrible
mess.
Some of these are Alpha specific problems, in other cases it is often
bugs in the c++ code itself which g++ used to silently allow, but now
with how closely egcs follows the ANSI c++ standard (much closer than
any commercial offering I know of) you will often witness c++ code
which needs to be cleaned up.
And btw, broken egcs c++ issues aren't going to make as much headway
to get fixed if discussed only on redhat-axp, I'd take it also to one
of the egcs lists where the maintainers are more likely to be
listening :-)
