what does "Symbol `_ZTISt16invalid_argument' causes overflow in R_X86_64_32 relocation" mean?

I've compiled a C++11 application under Scientific Linux 6.4 (64bit), using a self-compiled GCC 4.8.2. The application can be compiled fine, but when running it (with LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to include the gcc 4.8.2 lib64 directory so that it finds libstdc++.so.6), the following messages appear:

Symbol `_ZTISt16invalid_argument' causes overflow in R_X86_64_32 relocation Symbol `_ZTISt16invalid_argument' causes overflow in R_X86_64_32 relocation Symbol `_ZTISt12out_of_range' causes overflow in R_X86_64_32 relocation

(the demangled symbol names are typeinfo for std::invalid_argument and typeinfo for std::out_of_range)

Usually the applications then runs fine; but in some cases it crashes, apparently because it tries to catch an "invalid_argument" exception which is instead raised to the top frame.

What do these messages mean, and how can I fix them?

"R_X86_64_32 relocation" smells like you are mixing 32 and 64 bit objects. – PlasmaHH May 12 '14 at 12:57
I haven't found out what causes this problem; but it works when compiling the application with `-fPIC`. – oliver May 15 '14 at 11:54
To whoever has downvoted the question: I'm interested in the reason for the downvote! – oliver Dec 17 '17 at 20:47
