	Looking at the configure.log file where stdio occurs, I see:


configure:16772: checking stdio.h usability
configure:16772: c++ -c -O2 -O3 -Wall -std=c++03  -DUSE_SAT_SOLVER=1 conftest.cpp >&5

configure:16772: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
| /* confdefs.h */
| #define PACKAGE_NAME "link-grammar"
| #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "link-grammar"
...

	in other words, in this test it supplies an option to g++ which
	it didn't do before.

	I don't know if it really required a C++03 compiler or not.
	The g++ I have is from NetBSD/amd64 6.1.5:

Using built-in specs.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
	Use a C++ 2003 compiler? Which one is that?
	However that would probably force all programs using the library
	to also use that compiler, due to the appalling lack of ABI
	compatibility between g++ versions.

 Essentially, any modernish C++ compiler. It's C++98 with some additional
 corrections to the runtime. The flag should really not be added in first
 place.

NetBSD 6 is end of life.
Is this still an issue with a more modern version?

 I built a current version of this and had no problems.
 I'll close it for being obsolete.
