Many people have been down this path!!!
My recommendation is to move over to
ELF using John Polstra's ELF-KIT.
Native ELF binary kernel support is available in current only so
you must use a loader elf-run with 2.1.5.  However
GNU 2.7.2 compiler produces working code
in this configuration, while all the other batches etc
do not. ie templates don't work correctly ... libg++ will not compile ...
you get link errrors... the list goes on.
