binutils-2.22 changes the behaviour of ld by defaulting to
--no-copy-dt-needed-entries, which means that required objects/libs are not
"indirectly" linked through intermediate objects/libs anymore. As a consequence,
when using binutils-2.22, building symbol-test fails with the following error:

    /usr/bin/ld: test/symbol-test.o: undefined reference to symbol
    'std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char>
    >::~basic_string()@@GLIBCXX_3.4'

    /usr/bin/ld: note: 'std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>,
    std::allocator<char> >::~basic_string()@@GLIBCXX_3.4' is defined in DSO
    /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 so try adding it to the linker command line

    /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: could not read symbols: Invalid operation

An easy fix is to link using CXX instead of CC.

Hi there,

This build issue happens on Arch Linux. For more details, the relevant binutils
changelog is here: http://ur1.ca/6px8j, and more explanations are available on
the Fedora wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/UnderstandingDSOLinkChange
(People who read the arch-general ML may want to read the thread starting at
id:"1323458274-sup-9064@eris".)

Best regards,
Thomas
