My ld --version shows 2.13.xx

I updated ld to 2.15.90 and it works fine. Thanks.

With this fix, I proceed to test the other examples. Unfortunately, I
encountered lots of trouble here:

Versioned example:

Gettext example (need to get gettext and libiconv separately from mingw):

I need to modify the Jamfile to make this example work:
-- snip --
lib intl
:
: <file>C:\\mingw\\lib\\libintl.a 
;

lib iconv
:
: <file>C:\\mingw\\lib\\libiconv.dll.a
;

# Declare a main target.
exe main 
: main.cpp intl iconv
;
-- snip --

Do we really need the lib definitions to make this work? I don't like
hard-coding the path to the libs.

Execution:
C:\boost_1_31_0\tools\build\v2\example\gettext>bin\gcc\debug\main
hello

The incorrect output is displayed, when I am expecting "international
hello" as defined in russion.po. It doesn't seems to pick up the
russian.mo file. msgunfmt on the .mo files looks right. Please help
clear up my confusion on properly using the gettext.

Totally have no clue about the messages here.

Any inputs on these issues is greatly appreaciated.
