In config.log,

configure:4484: checking whether c++ accepts -rdynamic
configure:4507: c++ -o conftest -g -O2 -rdynamic  -g conftest.C -ldl
-lsocket -lm  1>&5
c++: unrecognized option `-rdynamic'

is found and `-rdynamic' is set in Makeconf.

No, it succeeds. :-< With bash,

	nakaji at zeisei6$ g++ -rdynamic foo.cc && echo y
	g++: unrecognized option `-rdynamic'
	y

Exit status seems 0. Egcs's bug (or feature)?

Thanks, I try `edit Makeconf'...
