I'll check the bug tracking system shortly.  Actually, I'll try compiling
the stuff first and go from there.  Thanks :)

Yes, this came up on debian-devel and I made a note of it to myself

Hmmm...I'll make a note of this.  Actually, libg++ probably should be
rebuilt for several reasons, not the least of which is a dependency
problem that a few people have mentioned.  Since you know what needs to be
done, would you mind rebuilding it to fix the problems?  I would, but I'm
tackling X-3.3.1 right now and my UDB is compiling 24-hours a day lately.
Also, I would love to get our gcc a little more updated OR at least get a
totally-patched source tree for our current gcc so I can work on g77
support (which needs the gcc source tree to compile).

Thanks :)
