Details

The gcc12 package was not rebuilt for the recent glibc 2.38 upgrade and it can't link any library built with the main gcc 13 due to ABI incompatibilities. The libstdc++.so contains only symbols up to GLIBCXX_3.4.30 (GLIBCXX_3.4.31 and GLIBCXX_3.4.32 are missing):

$ strings /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/12.3.0/libstdc++.so | grep GLIBCXX
GLIBCXX_3.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.1
GLIBCXX_3.4.2
GLIBCXX_3.4.3
GLIBCXX_3.4.4
GLIBCXX_3.4.5
GLIBCXX_3.4.6
GLIBCXX_3.4.7
GLIBCXX_3.4.8
GLIBCXX_3.4.9
GLIBCXX_3.4.10
GLIBCXX_3.4.11
GLIBCXX_3.4.12
GLIBCXX_3.4.13
GLIBCXX_3.4.14
GLIBCXX_3.4.15
GLIBCXX_3.4.16
GLIBCXX_3.4.17
GLIBCXX_3.4.18
GLIBCXX_3.4.19
GLIBCXX_3.4.20
GLIBCXX_3.4.21
GLIBCXX_3.4.22
GLIBCXX_3.4.23
GLIBCXX_3.4.24
GLIBCXX_3.4.25
GLIBCXX_3.4.26
GLIBCXX_3.4.27
GLIBCXX_3.4.28
GLIBCXX_3.4.29
GLIBCXX_3.4.30

For some reason just rebuilding the gcc12 package did not solve it for me. Only making libs in /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/12.3.0/ symlinks to those from the main gcc-libs package solved the problem and it is probably the easiest/most future-proof solution. See the attached patch (idea borrowed from the gcc11 package in AUR).

Actually the problem is not with linking *any* library, just those that have symbols with incompatible ABI. An example is libmpi_cxx from the openmpi package:

$ g++-12 test.cpp -lmpi_cxx
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/12.3.0/../../../../lib/libmpi_cxx.so: undefined reference to `std::ios_base_library_init()@GLIBCXX_3.4.32'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Thanks, pushed to testing. Please check.

It works as far as I could test. Thanks for taking care of it.
