Cross compilation for MIPS/68000 embedded applications.

[John D. Robertson]

I have seen these messages before, but not while cross compiling.  I 
think this happens when you declare a pure virtual function, and then 
never supply an implementation.

class a
{
public:
   virtual void myfunc()=0;
   virtual void impfunc()=0;
};

class b : public a
{
public:
   void impfunc() {}
};

GCC will complain even if the function is never used.  I believe that the 
SGI IRIX compiler will give you specific error messages specifying which 
function is not implemented, but will say nothing if the function is 
never accessed.

Hope this helps.
