You didn't look closely at the message at the start of this thread.
Benjamin's patch to libstdc++ removes the C++ demangler.  See the
ChangeLog.
    http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/libstdc++/2004-02/msg00326.html

Then Mark proposed that I wrap up Benjamin's patch with a patch to the
libiberty demangler.
    http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/libstdc++/2004-02/msg00337.html

That is what I did.

I don't really have an opinion on whether Carlo's demangler should be
removed.
