Your message (further down) implies that the library contains C++. C++ code compiled with different compilers (gcc-2.95 and 3.x *are* different compilers for all practical purposes), is *not* link compatible. > There is no access to the source code of this lib. > Let's name it "libold.a".

You can't use plainc.o as a filter. On Linux/x86 (but not x86_64) you could link libold.a, libstdc++-old.a and plainc.o into libold.so, and carefully hide (using linker version scripts) all traces of non-C interfaces inside the DSO, leaving only plain-C exposed, and then use the resulting DSO with the new version of g++. This shouldn't be too difficult, but isn't entirely trivial either. Cheers, -- In order to understand recursion you must first understand recursion.
