Undefined symbol: _ZTVN10__cxxabiv120__si_class_type_infoE

When compiling libadjoint, I hit

==================== *snip* ====================

make: *** [python/libadjoint/clibadjoint.py] Error 1
==================== *snap* ====================

From googling I see that this symbol is missing for many a software project, and that the error is probably largely unrelated to libadjoint. Still, I thought that maybe the one or the other libadjoint user has experienced the same before.

Any hints here?
