?? What do I need for C++ development?
-{HJ,AJ} You need either egcs 1.0.2 or gcc-2.8.1 with libstdc++ 2.8.1 (or
-more recent versions). libg++ 2.7.2 (and the Linux Versions 2.7.2.x) doesn't
-work very well with the GNU C library due to vtable thunks. If you're

-(LFS) in version 2.1.
+{HJ,AJ} You need either egcs 1.1 which comes directly with libstdc++ or
+gcc-2.8.1 together with libstdc++ 2.8.1.1. egcs 1.1 has the better C++
+support and works directly with glibc 2.1. If you use gcc-2.8.1 with
+libstdc++ 2.8.1.1, you need to modify libstdc++ a bit. A patch is available
+as:
+ ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libstdc++-2.8.1.1-glibc2.1-diff.gz
+
+Please note that libg++ 2.7.2 (and the Linux Versions 2.7.2.x) doesn't work
+very well with the GNU C library due to vtable thunks. If you're upgrading
+from glibc 2.0.x to 2.1 you have to recompile libstdc++ since the library
+compiled for 2.0 is not compatible due to the new Large File Support (LFS)
+in version 2.1.
+
+{UD} But since in the case of a shared libstdc++ the version numbers should
+be different existing programs will continue to work.
?? Even statically linked programs need some shared libraries
which is not acceptable for me. What can I do?
