(the system compiler is 4.4.5 20110214 (Red Hat > 4.4.5-6)) That's a bug in the old version's stringstream that was fixed. If you recompiled the old binaries with -D_GLIBCXX_EXTERN_TEMPLATE=0 then the instantiation in libstdc++.so wouldn't be used, but that's not a very practical solution. > So, is there a way to build gcc and force a bump in the .so version?
