Bug#101223: Undefined reference to 'cout'

[Gordon Sadler <gbsadler1@lcisp.com>]

Package: g++-2.95
Version: 1:2.95.4-0.010604
Severity: important

I have no idea when this started. Perhaps a packaging bug?

If you compile the attached 'hello' program:

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I've tried different versions (using namespace std, std::cout, cout) 
None of them will link here, same error for all. When compiled with
g++-3.0 I have no problems.

*** bar.cpp
#include <iostream>

int main ()
{
  std::cout << "hello ...\n";
  return 0;
}
