I have noticed the following difference between gcc.2.2.2 and gcc.2.3.1 when
used to compile and link C++ program on a DECstation running Ultrix 4.2.
By looking at the output generated by the "-v" option I see that the older
version automatically passed a "-L" option to the loader ld to search the
default library directory for libg++, while the new compiler doesn't,
forcing the user to explicitly specify the path for libg++.

Can you please tell me if this a new feature or a bug?

Thank you in advance for your kind reply.
