RE: [iPAQ] bug in dymanic linker

There is also a bug in the g++ (2.95.x) ARM code generation for C++
exceptions in shared libraries. If an exception is thrown in -fPIC code, you
get an abort or segmentation fault.

Thanks, this really helped. It turns out that the library was compiled
with -fPIC but it was including iostream code. Any time that the
iostream includes were referenced it created these symbols. Is there a
g++ library that is built in the skill cross compiler that also needs to
be built with -fPIC?
