I thought I answered that earlier. When building C++ code that is part of GCC itself, we use -fno-rtti because GCC never uses RTTI, and using -fno-rtti causes the compiler to be smaller. So there is an advantage to using -fno-rtti, and there is no benefit to using -frtti. So we use -fno-rtti. You are running into a problem with that, but the problem has nothing to do with mainline GCC. It is a bug in GCC 4.0. It's unfortunate that GCC 4.0 has a bug with -fno-rtti, but there is no way that we retroactively fix that. Ian
