Is that actually an error, or just a warning?  RRS text relocations
indicate "linking problems," typically non-fatal, that will cause a
program to run less efficiently than they should.  However, in most
cases, the programs should still run.

In my shared linker, that warning is disabled.  8-)  You can do the
same to yours if you're willing to do some trivial binary editing of
/usr/libexec/ld.so.  ("Don't do it unless you know what you're doing!")



With a properly set up compiler, with the c++ shared library patch,
I'm pretty sure that the following results should be 'expected':

cc foo.cc
	compiles, fails to link because of undefined symbols.

cc foo.cc -lstdcc++
	compiles, links, binary runs correctly.

c++ foo.cc
	compiles, links, binary runs correctly.

g++ foo.cc
	compiles, and either:
		(1) fails to link because of undefined symbols, or
		(2) crashes because libg++ shared library is broken.

I'm pretty sure that all of the latter three cases should work
correctly if -static is suppoled.

Some of the 'runs correctly' cases may produce RRS text relocation
warnings, but those sholdn't be fatal.
