Re: ATTN: g++ maintainer: Using string instances to pass arguments to dlls


Does fixing this bug require upstream intervention, or can you just develop a
patch, and submit it to upstream?

Anecdotal evidence [1] exists that this issue may be what prevents compiling a
working version of octave 2.1.71 with gcc 3.4.4.  This comes from John Ewing
(octave upstream), who states that he is able to compile a working version with
gcc 3.4.4 only if it is statically linked.

John also wonders [2] why libstdc++ is static as opposed to shared on cygwin. 
I have searched the archives, and verified its static nature, but was unable to
find an explanation.
