	I've just gotten through build Hylafax-4p1, and it was quite a
dredful experience.  Firstly, there were a number of places where the
right include files or symbols were not defined for NetBSD (I will be
back-submitting all that stuff), but one thing that I can't pawn off
on them is the ___pure_virutal problem.

	At the end of this message is a chunk of C++ code that when
compiled (gcc -o pure pure.c++) will come up with a symbol that is not
defined '___pure_virtual' with the stock NetBSD compiler.  I'm using a
late 1.1-current here.

	Now... I also have my own install of GCC (because I want to
play with fcc et. al.) and when I compile the same code with it,
everything works as expected.

Dave.

class child : public parent

  public:
    virtual void doit(int, int);
};

void child::doit(int a, int b)
{
    i1 = a;
    i2 = b;

    child foo;
    parent *bar = &foo;
    
    bar->doit(4,3);
}
