	Hello to everybody, I'm trying to compile groff 1.08 on an Indy
	(Irix 5.1.1) using gcc 2.5.7 and libg++ 2.5.3.
	This is the output of configure:

checking for grops to derive installation directory prefix
checking for gcc to derive installation directory prefix
checking for gcc
checking if C compiler is also a C++ compiler
checking that C++ compiler can compile very simple C++ program
checking that C++ static constructors and destructors are called
gcc is not installed correctly: static constructors and destructors do not work

	I tried to build it also on a Sun 3/80 with SunOS 4.1.1 and gcc 2.4.5,
	getting the same error message.

	At this point I tried and removed the constructors/destructors test in
	configure and run the whole thing again. This time I was able to have
	groff compiled without errors BUT... IT DIDN'T WORK AT ALL: it simply
	dumps the core and dies.

	Why? Do you have any idea? Is it really possible that g++ static
	destructors are broken? Any hint?

	I really need groff because Irix 5.1.1 comes without text utilities
	and I'm not going to spend money for something I use only to format
	the man pages...

	Thanks in advance for your help,

					Roberto
