I thought we fixed iostream......

Let me think....


Kai, did you ever get all those patches into the trunk for this?  If
not, that would explain it.  It's not really a regression for g++;
more like a patch I forgot to apply.

Hold out a little longer :)

We did something to fix iostream (although I'll remind you that most
of g++ and all of gfortran is broken), and I don't remember what.  I
need a patch from Kai, and I forget which one.

Honestly, can you just use the cross compilers?  They work great.
