That far back? It was probably something like ntl or singular (or something 
that has since then
been removed) that didn’t link properly.
More seriously, it may have been because the linker used was gcc instead of g++ 
even when linking
C++ code. We know there is/was that issue about C/C++ compiler in distutils (I 
haven’t been keeping
track, are we still patching python for that in distros?).
