I thought the problem you had with systemtap was a bug in their header files. I don't see how using the elfutils nm fixes that. Using the elfutils nm will cause the build to fail earlier than the problem you reported earlier. The elfutils nm will cause the build fail in libgcc. You reported a failure building libstdc++. libgcc is built before libstdc++. So I think you installed elfutils to avoid the libstdc++ problem, but it didn't fix it. It just broke earlier. Ian
