Thank you for your response.  Yes, looking into the dusty corners of the 
GNU compiler toolchain is revealing some unusual problems for sure.

Thanks for the info - in fact, putting the #ifdef SHARED guard in the 
header file to match the source seems to have worked.

I will be submitting this patch among several other patches that I 
expect to submit once I have verified the end-to-end process of 
bootstrapping the toolchain with these fixes in place.

Thank you!
