At least for drgeo, it seems that the only symbols it uses from libstdc++5 are new and delete, and as all symbols exported by libstdc++5 and libstdc++6 are versioned it shouldn't matter *which* symbols are used, the application should still be segfault-proof on this point. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
