suddenly getting problems with __func__

Hi all,

did anyone also come above this problem?
When trying to compile our codebase with gcc 4.4.x (from Ubuntu Lucid), the
__func__ symbol suddenly causes problems. Up to now we used gcc 4.3.x from 
Debian.

I am aware that __func__ is C99 only, thus actually it isn't supposed to work!


But the new behaviour seems strange anyway.

The compilation doesn't fail, but the link step complains e.g.

./.libs/liblumieraproc.so: undefined reference to
`lib::AllocationCluster::handler(unsigned int)::__func__'


I wasn't able to reproduce it with a simple example, i.e. with one simple cpp
file linking against a simple .so, we can still use __func__ in C++ code without
error.

Anyone already noticed that behaviour change? Is there maybe some non-standard
switch to enable __func__ ? (Our codebase isn't C++0x ready yet).

thanx for any ideas or comments
Cheers,
Hermann Vosseler
