A related question!  (I've had similar problems with libg++-2.8.0 and
I've read another report stating the same thing)

but my question, when you compiled gcc-2.8.0 did you install collect2? 
I managed to compile gcc fine but have just realised that I probably
need collect2 because one of my programs is not linking properly (each
source file compiles fine).

Compiling collect2 has given me similar headaches - some object files
are compiled with the -32 flag and some with -n32.  I haven't been able
to find a solution at the moment.

  ... hmm, I haven't looked at 2.8.0, but maybe the the old trick to
configure
for IRIX-5.3 (both gcc and libc of course) still works. And try to setenv
SGI_ABI to "-32".

This is a bug in the libg++ 2.8.0 release.  It won't build properly for
any target that uses `multilibs'.  irix6 is multilibbed because we want to
build both N32 and N64 versions of the library.  (The gcc irix6 port doesn't
support O32 yet.  You can configure for irix5 if you need that.)

Since libg++ is being obsoleted, I recommend that you get the libstdc++
release instead, which does not have this problem.  libstdc++ contains
everything in libg++ except for the GNU class library.  The GNU class library
was not very widely used, and is much less interesting now that we have
a standard class library, so it is unlikely that you need it.

If collect2 does anything useful, it should have been built and installed
by default.  Why do you think that collect2 will help you?

This indicates that you accidentally mixed cc/O32 and gcc/N32 objects
which isn't going to work.  You probably typed the wrong make command
somewhere.  I suspect you tried to build collect2 in an existing 3-staged
build directory simply by typing `make collect2'.  In that case, the correct
command would be `make CC="stage2/xgcc -Bstage2/" CFLAGS="-g -O2" collect2'.

Yes it will still work, but it isn't necessary to solve these problems.
None of the reported problems are actually gcc problems.  Some of them
are due to bugs in other packages, and some appear to be user error.

>And try to setenv SGI_ABI to "-32".

This won't help, because gcc does not support this environment variable.
