Well, that part is ok. On that compiler, HAVE_GOOD_STL *should* be undefined 
because gcc intentionally screwed up the STL in a non-productive way, and 
the test should fail. It works again on gcc 3.3 or so.

What I don't understand is why that's a problem. If there were compile-time 
problems, that's not too unexpected, I don't test those branches enough. But 
link time makes no sense to me, and that link error means it's compiling 
something with that macro on. It shouldn't be doing that.

I'd first make sure that xmltooling's internal config.h and the public 
xmltooling/config_pub.h header agree that it's undefined. That should make 
things build. If not, there's a header ordering problem or something. Or 
maybe I left a stale reference to HAVE_GOOD_STL someplace in another 
config.h header...

Anyway, I'll see about installing an old CentOS that has the broken compiler 
so I can test it, it's on my list anyway.
