Sometimes the use of dynamic_cast'ing points to a poor interface... there are usually workarounds to dynamic_casting. However, maybe the *simpler* (i.e. to not touch the sources) approach would be to "downgrade" your system to gcc-2.95.*. C++ ABI is the same, and it's a rock-solid compiler, albeit a bit outdated. However, if extensive relinking and redeployment is not an issue, then you might choose one of the gcc 3.3 series compilers. Miguel.
