Thanks for both this update and the previous one. I'm not overly worried about the failure, as I don't think that my patch could have caused it.

The failure has nothing to do with your patch. It has to do with how the HP linker treats secondary definition symbols. A couple of other tests have similar problems. PR 23387 documents some of the limitations. However, I must admit I'm puzzled why changing the link order of the files didn't fix the problem.

I will add the dg-xfail, as you suggest, before check-in -- assuming that you're HP-UX 10.10 results look OK. (My testing succeeded on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, but these linkage issues are of course highly dependent on the target system.)

libstdc++ links again with your patch on HP-UX 10 ;) Testsuite is running but the system is slow. Don't expect any problems since the results using comdat support on HP-UX 11 were ok.

Thanks very much for looking at the problem.

Dave
