After fixing a zillion bugs of the "friend foo" -> "friend class foo" type 
and assorted protected/private/public issues, I finally managed to have apt
compile.  Same error as you found.  It's not a linker bug as it's not a 
case of the linker dropping some section; the undefined symbol really
isn't defined anywhere.  I don't know enough C++ to debug the problem
further.

Recompiling with -fno-rtti results in a successful build.
