I do know that several bugs in the handling of visibility for things like C++ virtual tables and typeinfo structures have been fixed since the gcc 4.2 release. Also the version of the GNU binutils is relevant. But I don't know if that is the sort of problem you are encountering. You are going to have to give us more information. You can use readelf to determine whether you have any relocations against non-hidden symbols. Ian
