 If you use @code{g++} on OSF/1 or Tru64 using gcc-2.95.x, you should
 specify @samp{--disable-shared} because of linker problems with
 duplicate symbols in shared libraries.  If you use @code{g++} from
 gcc-3.0.n, with n larger than 1, you should @emph{not} add
 @samp{-fno-exceptions} to the CXXFLAGS, since that will generate wrong

 If you use @code{g++} from gcc-3.1, it will need 235 MB of virtual memory.
 You might need some swap space if your machine doesn't have 512 MB of RAM.
