libstdc++ invalid exception

[Kai-Ting Amy Wang]

Hi,

        I'm compiling libstdc++2.8.1.1 and also gcc2.8.1 as instructed by
the INTSALL file in libstdc++2.8.1.1, with the 'make bootstrap' to make
the compiler (gcc 2.8.1) and the library together.

my platform is: Linux version 2.2.17-14 (gcc version egcs-2.91.66
19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release))

with libc.so.6  and ld-linux.so.2.

        I've seen people with similar error message and I'm suspecting it
has something to do with the fact that xgcc (the newly compiled gcc) was
linked to libc.so.6 which is not compatible with libstdc++2.8.1.1.

        I know this release is no longer supported.  But, can anyone give
me some help?  

        Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
Amy
