Well, if Brett considers it worth solving the problem, that's halfway
there.  We also need to see the same info for the system where it's
known to work, for the toolchain configuration used to build the
working executable.  I'm willing to trust Brett to know whether he
needs this badly enough to go through that pain.

Why do I think it's likely to be painful?  Because C++ is famous for
(1) changing ABIs across micro releases (2) tightly binding the
stdlibc++ to the version of the compiler (3) changing APIs, too.
Of course this wouldn't matter if the code Brett is trying to compile
was accessing only published stdlibc++ interfaces, but unfortunately
we know that's not the case.  The code is reaching inside the
structures and passing the content to system calls.  *shiver*
