Hello to all.

I asked a question regarding "DXE and C++", which has seemingly been
overlooked in favour of Bernhard's more recent "DLX and C++".    ;-)
However the problems appear to be almost identical (as are the suspect
programs dxegen and dlxgen), and the discussion of Bernhard's problem has
been interesting to me.

1. I've examined the DXE mechanism and managed to get past the multiple
sections issue by adding a couple of lines to the linker script.

2. But I am now stuck with "unable to resolve external symbols" on
'___builtin_delete', '_terminate__Fv', '___throw', '___builtin_new' and
'___eh_pc'.  This list did include '_free', '_strcmp', and '_malloc', until
I remember to add my custom support functions (support.o) to the command
line.

It seems that I need to include parts of the C++ libraries that provide
these symbols.  Unfortunately when I've experiemented with linking various
libraries in (-lc and -lgcc) I've been confronted with yet more unresolvable
symbols.  (Not to mention name clashes with my support functions.)

Help!
