Comment(by dports@…):

 Replying to [comment:45 dtakahashi42@…]:
 > Could you explain why {{{--enable-fully-dynamic-string}}} should be
 removed from {{{gcc44}}} and {{{gcc45}}}? I think those compilers work
 fine even though those were compiled with {{{--enable-fully-dynamic-
 string}}}.

 Well, the reason we enabled it in the first place was that we thought the
 system's standard library was built with that flag set, and we needed the
 generated code to be compatible. It seems like that was mistaken. Either
 way, it doesn't depend on gcc versions -- either the system library was
 built with fully dynamic strings and all of the gcc ports should do the
 same, or it wasn't and none of them should.

 It is true that this only seems to be causing serious problems with gcc46.
 I don't know why that is. (It's also possible that it is causing problems
 with gcc44/45 that are just more subtle than failing to build entirely.)
