I have tried the latest gcc-4.7.2 release and it has the same problem, however, the --eh-frame-hdr linker option fixes it:
$ g++-4.7.2 -Wl,--eh-frame-hdr -o cpptest cpptest.cpp
$ ./cpptest
$
For some reason the --eh-frame-hdr option gets removed when I augment the built-in specs with the following <gcc_root>/spec file:
*link:
+ %{!m32:-rpath=/opt/epoch/lib64/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.2} %{!m32:-rpath=/opt/epoch/lib64/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.2/libgcc/lib64} %{m32:-rpath=/opt/epoch/lib64/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.7.2/32} %{m32:-rpath=/opt/epoch/lib64/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux/4.7.2/libgcc/lib}
Given that I was using '+' on the link spec line I would not have expected it to remove any options from the built-in spec. Weird...
