The question concerned compile problems in the latest libg++ version, 
2.8.0.  I decided to retreat to an earlier version, and compiled that 
without incident.  I then found that when I downloaded what I thought was 
the latest version of gcc, 2.7.2.3, I didn't see that version 2.8.0 was 
also available.  I found a place in libio where the __extension__ 
variable wasn't getting set for any gcc version earlier than 2.8, and 
that was my problem.
