custom built gcc 4.6.0 on ubuntu 11.04 links wrong libstdc++

my custom built gcc 4.6.0, installed in my home directory, on ubuntu 10.04, links the system libstdc++ instead of the custom built one, most of the time (as evidenced by ldd). to be more puzzling, using this newly built gcc, custom compiled openmpi libraries are linked correctly, and this is the only software i have compiled that behav开发者_如何转开发es ok. does anybody have any explanation for this, or a workaround?

thanks

Isn't there an option to statically link the libstdc into the gcc when you configure it? --disable-shared if I understand how it works correctly. Worst case make another compile of gcc with that switch and see if you run into the issue.

I don't know why this isn't detailed more clearly on the GCC website for end-users. The GCC FAQ clearly states this is a common problem wrt libstdc++. Environment variables are troublesome. Wrapping the linker, nobody knows how to do that. Editing /etc/ld.so.conf isn't an option. Adding -Wl,-rpath everywhere, come on. The easiest solution is the specs file. For a typical 64-bit x86 Linux system, go into your custom gcc installation, in dirname `g++ -print-libgcc-file-name`and then run g++ -dumpspecs > specs. Edit that file, find the *link_command: section. After %(link_libgcc) add -rpath /home/user/bin/gcc-9/lib64 (of course use your own path). Or add the same rpath to end of *link: section. Alternatively, configure gcc with --with-specs='%{!static:%x{-rpath=/home/user/bin/gcc9/lib64} %x{-enable-new-dtags}}' . Enjoy your own C++ compiler that generates binaries that just work.
