Ok, then gcc-2.95 picks the libstdc++.so (from gcc-3.0) from /usr/local and
cannot find the symbol because it's mangled in another way?

This situation only occurs, if you have another libstdc++ in the link
path, that is not compatible with the linker used. So the error should
not occur, if you move the libstdc++.so (gcc-3.0's libstdc++) link
into the compiler specific libdir. Correct?

I'd like to downgrade the report, because this is a situation that
does not exist with the Debian g++-2.95 and g++-3.0 packages.
