Hi all,

I am considering to change recommendable gcc version for mingw port to gcc 3.x.x to 
4.4.0 but there is a restriction that the use of gcc 4.4.0 mandates dynamic linking of 
libgcc and libstdc++.

There is a concern in mingw comminity that those who would like to include dynamic 
libstdc++ should have a legal opinion to support it or should be ready to distribute 
the source code of libstdc++ right at the point of binary distribution.

In the meantime, OOo distributions on some un*x platforms are including libstdc++.so.6.

Are there any agreed legal opinion on distributing libstdc++ in OOo projects?
