First of all, I added the comments so it is not an opinion expressed by the  GCC 
people.
Maybe you are right about my problem, but instead of wrestling with something 
that
in most cases fails, I tried to recompile libsigc++, glibmm and gtkmm with g++ 
and
then to try build  bombono-dvd-0.8.1.

Somewhere I have read that OSOL ld is buggy too ;-)

Because they insisted on building it with Sun Studio :-) Back in 2003-2004 I 
built
Gnome with gcc and there are absolutely no problem.
