     g++ 2.2.2 on an HP 9000/710 imports "extern const" variables from
the $CODE$ segment, even class variables with constructors.  The
definition of these variables is placed into the $DATA segement
(correctly).  The final link will fail, but will work on a Sun3 or Sun4.

     g++ 2.2.2 was created using "configure hp700".

     Compile the following three small files on an HP 710 using "g++
-o loc loc1.C loc2.C".  The compile will fail due to "Unsatisfied symbols:".

--------------- Cut here for loc.h ---------------------

class loc {
public:
	int i;
	loc() { i = 0; };
};

extern const loc x;

--------------- Cut here for loc1.C ---------------------

#include "loc.h"

const loc y;
main()
{
	if (&y == &x) return 0;
}

--------------- Cut here for loc2.C ---------------------

#include "loc.h"
const loc x;		/* Where we define "extern const loc x"		*/
