FWIW, I *think* noticed that this problem only appeared in buildroot, without enabling c++ in the languages. Actually, when I decided to evaluate the C++ changes and therefore enabled C++ in buildroot (I am not sure what it does in addition to --enable-languages=c,c++). I cannot be certain and I have not had the time to retest this.
