Well, it looks like part of the test is bogus (sorry Jakub!) since the 
argument x of foo is a reference and therefore no constructions and 
destructions take place...

I see. Seems something reasonable for 3.4...

However, I would really like to carry out some tests myself (also in the 
light of the observation above): unfortunately, after having applied 
your patch and regenerated everything (aclocal - autoconf - autoheader - 
automake from the top libstdc++-v3 dir) I'm getting:

make[3]: Leaving directory 
`/home/paolo/Gcc/cvs-dirs/gcc-head-build/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3'

What I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Paolo.
