Hi there folks.

I'm trying to compile AT&T's C++ compiler (ver 1.2.1)
on a 3B15 (SysVR2) and a Pyramid, where I have the same problem.

The problem is this: cfront, munch and libC.a are compliled without
a hitch, but it seems that when I try to compile a program with
a global static class object, it never gets initialized. For example
if I try compiling:

>  #include <stream.h>
>  
>  main()
>  {
>  	cout << "Hi there!\n";
>  }

everything is fine, but if I try and run it
I get a core dump, because cout was not initialized before main()
was run, and hence is not bound to stdout. Has anyone seen this problem,
and does anyone have the fix?????

Thanx.
