The underlying problem seems to be that the compiler is generating
calls to __cxa_guard_release() for reasons that are still not clear.
According to jifl's posting of 12 August that should only happen when
compiling with -fexceptions (possibly accidentally, by removing
-fno-exceptions for the application makefile). Everything else
including pulling in __cxa_pure_virtual() from libsupc++ is a side
effect of that.

So you need to figure out what __cxa_guard_release() is for and under
what circumstances the compiler will issue calls to that function.
Then we can figure out how to proceed.
