[ns] Compile problem with gcc-3.1-0.14?

[Marcel Ziswiler <marcel@ziswiler.com> (by way of Marcel Ziswiler <marcel@ziswiler.com>)]

Dear ns-2 users

Has anybody had any luck compiling with a recent 3.1 gcc version?
I tried the patches and advices at
http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/archive/ns-users/webarch/current/msg06060.html,
which helped to compile the sources. But now it seems to fail at linking and
I get the following message:
...
simulator.o(.gnu.linkonce.d._ZTV14SimulatorClass+0x1c): undefined reference
to `TclClass::method(int, char const* const*)'
simulator.o: In function `SimulatorClass::~SimulatorClass()':
simulator.o(.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN14SimulatorClassD0Ev+0x16): undefined
reference to `TclClass::~TclClass()'

simulator.o(.gnu.linkonce.t._ZN9SimulatorC1Ev+0xf): undefined reference to
`TclObject::TclObject()'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [ns] Error 1

The command that fails is:

I have a RedHat Linux 7.2 system with the latest gcc-3.1 compiler and
libraries from RawHide 1.0.
If I can not get it to run I have to switch back to the bad gcc-2.9.6 version
shipped with RedHat 7.2, which breakes many other things!

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Cheers
