I'm beginning to have doubts whether this is the proper fix, because:

Isn't library_init() supposed to solve all problems of this kind by being
the first static object to appear in any compilation unit?

library_init() is declared in ex.h which is the first file included from
container.h, so it can't come from there. And the GiNaC class registry doesn't
use function_options, so I don't understand why the declaration of container<>
would create a function_options object. The only compilation units creating
function_options are the various inifcns*.cpp files which include inifcns.h
-> function.h -> exprseq.h -> container.h -> ex.h and should see library_init()
before any function_options.

Did I overlook something?

Bye,
Christian
