retitle 175604 cxx's "compaq" mangling style not supported by binutils
severity 175604 grave
thanks
At some point in the past two years, binutils has stopped supporting the
"compaq" C++ name mangling style. Therefore, cxx cannot be installed,
and cannot function once installed; this applies to 6.3.9.7-1 currently
in testing and my attempt to update to 6.5.9.31.
Does anyone know how this might be fixed? I guess an approach is to get
an old binutils which worked and try to generate a patch, but I've no
idea what's involved there...
