Is it the correct approach? Or > perhaps the problem is specific to our build of gcc-4.4 on IRIX? Sorry for chiming in so late: I've been off for an extended weekend. No, I don't think this is the right approach, but just a hack: if libstdc++ needs the full/real libpthread to work on IRIX (which I assume is the case, just as on Tru64 UNIX), it should be linked with it directly instead of hacking around in the driver. If the library is properly self-contained (as it should), it doesn't depend on being linked with g++, but works with the gcc driver as well. I'll check this out soon, but now it's time for bed. Could you file a PR for this issue in the meantime and Cc: me? Thanks.
