I try to install libg++.a version 1.36.2 on a Intel 386 system V Rel.3.2.
The /usr/include/stdio.h defines _bufendtab as 'unsigned char*', while
g++-include file stdio.h says the type is 'char*'. This causes some
warnings about assinging signed char pointers to unsigned char pointers
in File.cc and streambuf.cc. The result:
The program 'Hello World' prints only 'Hld' and a newline.
I tried to cast the pointers but this wasn't the solution.

Does anybody know a workaround ??

Please email !!!! (For some articles I never reach an answer (:-() )

Thanks in advance...

I had the exact same problem.

I think that Doug Lea fixed that (at my request) in 1.36.3.

I did that too.

OOPS! I goofed.  I should have said that I had a *similar* problem with
type mismatches.

I didn't have a problem of losing output though.  That is a horse of a
different color.
