The compiler is gcc 2.7.2, the system is a DEC Alpha running OSF/1
3.0, lately upgraded to dUnix 3.2.  It is 37 degrees F outside, and the
wind is from the west.  My sign is Leo.  I think that covers most of
the things that tend to affect computers...


Now.  For years I have been getting this and similar warnings, usually
whenever I try to use any of the cout/cerr streams.  The programs run
jus' fine, but the warnings are extremely annoying, especially when you
know the code is clean.  Can anyone give me some tips to clear this
up?  Are there certain libraries I am not including?

Here is an example of a compilation and link which produced the error.
***This server is not even using cout/cerr, either:***

================================================================
g++ -g -I. -I$HOME/include -Wall -c common.C
g++ -g -I. -I$HOME/include -Wall -c server.C
g++ -g -I. -I$HOME/include -Wall -o server.`hostname|sed 's/\..*//'`
   common.o server.o

/usr/ucb/ld:
Warning: clog defined as GLOBAL DATA but is defined in a shared lib as
a GLOBAL FUNC
/usr/ucb/ld:
Warning: clog defined as GLOBAL DATA but is defined in a shared lib as
a GLOBAL FUNC
================================================================

Since it's the linker producing the warning and not the compiler, I
don't know which of the *many* lines of code is responsible, if any.
(So I didn't post any of the code.)  The only mention of "clog" in 
any files anywhere is in iostream.h:

    // clog->rdbuf() == cerr->rdbuf()
    extern _IO_ostream_withassign cout, cerr, clog;

Any tips would be gratefully accepted.  Thanks for your time!
