AIX 5.3 g++ 4.0.0 can't link "hello world"

[Russell Ogilvie]

The system successfully compiles plenty of c++ code written by c
programmers, but fails to link anything with #include <iostream> or
#include <string>.  I have spent several days pouring over anything
google could give me.  It is not in my nature to ask for help, but I
am now pleading for any suggestions.

The output when -Wl,-bnoquiet is used seems to indicate that the
linker knows right where to find what it needs in libstdc++, but for
some reason it leaves it out or something.

Here is a fairly good example:

bash-3.00$ uname -a

bash-3.00$ /usr/bin/ld -V

bash-3.00$ cat hello.C
#include <iostream>
int main(){
 std::cout << "Hello\n";
 return 0;
}
bash-3.00$ g++ -Wall -g -c hello.C
