I've been struggling with this far too long.

I have a good deal of (older) software that relies on libg++.
I am looking to update the software, but really need a stable environment
for it to run on.  I should like to stick with Linux if possible, as any
alternative will involve disruption and downtime.

Now, the software works fine on older Linux, and on other systems with
a clean gcc2.6.x or 2.7.x installation.

On recent linux, the libg++ README hints darkly at the problems I have
been suffering.  It also refers the reader to a URL at sunsite for
a Linux-specific libg++, but that URL doesn't exist!

My current best attempt to run the software on Linux involved installing
a libg++, which led to problems with my software.  I was able to trace
the source of trouble to the "ostrstream" class being badly broken, and
worked around that.  However, this kind of patching is clearly not a
sound basis for further development.

I've spent most of today experimenting with different gcc/libstdc++/libg++
combos, without reaching a satisfactory result.

Is there a gcc/libstdc++/libg++ combination that *should* work?
