[Dev-C++] Linker error in Dev-C++ 5.0 beta 8 (4.9.8.0)

[Mark S. <mar...@li...>]

Apologies if this isn't the place to report bugs.
I get the following linker error in ver4.9.7.0 & 4.9.8.0 when compiling a C
(no C++) console application with win98: "undefined reference to
__gxx_personality_v0 " doing a search I discover that this is mentioned in
the libraries libstdc++.a & libsupc++.a in the lib directory. If I add
either of these libraries by name in my project options then everything goes
OK but the resulting executable is significantly larger than that produced
with 4.9.6.0, the .exe produced by linking libsupc++.a is ~30k larger than
using libstdc++.a ?
Why do I need to manually link these libraries when they reside in the lib
directory ?
TIA
Mark

P.S. Thanks for the latest version it produces significantly faster code
than ver 4.01 .
My application is a serious number cruncher.
