Bug#101901: g++-3.0 and --use-cxa-atexit

[laurent bonnaud <Laurent.Bonnaud@inpg.fr>]

Package: g++-3.0
Version: 1:3.0-1
Severity: normal


Hi,

according to http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html#known, it would seem to be a good
idea to compile g++-3.0 with the --use-cxa-atexit switch:

>Global destructors are not run in the correct order

>Global destructors should be run in the reverse order of their constructors
>completing. In most cases this is the same as the reverse order of constructors
>starting, but sometimes it is different, and that is important. You need to
>compile and link your programs with --use-cxa-atexit. We have not turned this
>switch on by default, as it requires a cxa aware runtime library (libc, glibc,
>or equivalent).

A more detailed explanation is given in:
