Confirmed.  It segfaults immediately when GiNaC is linked statically.

I don't think that the version of CLN is to blame.  If I take
libcln3_1.1.6-1 on a Debian/sarge system and libginac-dev_1.1.5-1 the
phenomenon disappears.  So the problem must be with GiNaC 1.2.

Also, the optimization level you compile your main program with can't
realistically make any difference.

Here is a quick shot at the problem using gdb:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
GiNaC::function_options::initialize() (this=0xbffff9e0) at ptr.h:40
/home/rbk/projects/GiNaC/ginac/ptr.h:40:1160:beg:0x80dc43e
(gdb) bt
#0  GiNaC::function_options::initialize() (this=0xbffff9e0) at ptr.h:40
#1  0x080dc00f in function_options (this=0xbffffa34, n=@0x0, tn=@0x0) at function.cpp:58

#5  0x0804d6b9 in _init ()
#6  0x081bf53b in __libc_csu_init ()
(gdb)

That symbol in #3 demangles to a "global constructors keyed to
GiNaC::(anonymous namespace)::Xn".  Ahhh...

I'm way too tired to see the static initialization order fiasco right now.
Jens?   ;-)

Cheers

PS: CLN 1.1.6 is the newest version, not 1.1.7.  Sorry for the confusion.
