[scl.org] devtoolset toolchain shared libs (libstdc++,libgcc,etc)

[cls]

Hi,

It appears as though the devtoolset toolchain rpms do not come with a 
copy of the libstdc++ shared library nor a handful of other shared 
libraries usually provided by gcc. Comparing the SCL and non-SCL 
gcc.spec files, it's clear that someone deliberately removed those 
shared libs. Why is that? I didn't see any mention of this in the 
mailing list archives.

I'm seeing a weird segfault during the destruction of a std::string 
derived-object that I do not see with the system compiler (gcc 4.8.5). 
I thought that it may have been a compiler error but then while 
debugging, I noticed that the c++ programs & libraries are linked 
against the system version of libstdc++.so.6 instead of the devtoolset-6 
version. That seems like that could cause major problems.

I'm using the pre-built devtoolset-6 from 
http://vault.centos.org/7.2.1511/sclo/x86_64/rh/devtoolset-6/ on CentOS 
7.2.1511. I modified the boost package to build as part of the 
collection since it is highly dependent upon the toolchain. You can see 
the runtime dependency upon the system library below as well as the ld 
script that causes the system library to get referenced at link time.
