   Has anyone ever made the g++ library (libg++-2.3) into a shared
   library on the SGI machines?  I'm running g++ 2.3.3, Irix 4.0.5F and
   thought that it would be a nice item to have, but I don't have the
   foggiest idea how it would be done, and I don't have the time to go
   RTFM :-(.

I doubt it for two reasons:

1. It is a real pain to do this since you have to write lots of stab routines
   and shared libs info which is quite tadious even for small libraries. I
   found it very difficult to automate when I tried to make X11R5 shared (well
   yes,  it isn't exectly "a small library" :-).

2. As far as I understand IRIX 5.0 uses SysVr4 shared libs which are much
   more standard and I think also are supported by GNU.

I guess the only advice I can give you is "be patient".

Cheers,
