What's the deal with streambuf.h?

[Elizabeth Barham <soggytrousers@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I posted this onto gnu.gcc.help but I have not received a reply.  A
quick search of google has shown that others have experienced this
error in the past - even in 2000. This appears to be specific to ppc
and perhaps the alpha.  I just now tried to compile it on two ix86
machines and it's okay.  Should I post a bug report?

I'm working on a project in C++ but I'm having troubles using the STL
libraries. For example:

#include <map>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
  cout << "hello!" << endl;
}

When I try to compile this, this is what happens:

gcc -o testmap testmap.cpp -lstdc++

In file included from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-linux/2.95.2/../../../../include/g++-3/iostream.h:31,
                 from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-linux/2.95.2/../../../../include/g++-3/stl_algobase.h:53,

                 from testmap.cpp:1:
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-linux/2.95.2/../../../../include/g++-3/streambuf.h: In method `struct streampos streambuf::pubseekoff(long long int, ios::seek_dir, int = 3)':

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-linux/2.95.2/../../../../include/g++-3/streambuf.h:364: `struct streampos' used where a `long long int' was expected

I'm aware that I need neither map nor string for this simple program
to work but I have been receiving these errors in programs that are
going to use them. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

Thank you, Elizabeth
