exes can't find libstdc++.so without help

[Neil Bird <neil dot bird at uk dot thalesgroup dot com>]

  I've done a test compile of gcc3, and, apart from a little
hoop jumping wrt. a bizarre ltconfig bug, it seemed to go
smoothly.

  However, c++ progs. that it compiles use libstdc++.so (as
that's the default, and what I want for the most part), but they
don't seemingly have any knowledge of where to find it:

ld.so.1: a.out: fatal: libstdc++.so.3: open failed: No such file
or directory


  Are all users of g++ now expected to have to set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH up to include the obscure
/path/to/gcc/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.6/3.0 - or whatever
happens to be correct for them?

  I really find it difficult to believe that, having used a
specific libstdc++.so, the exe. has no -R or -R-like option to
explain where it needs it's most fundamental library.

  It's not as if I can even copy the .so into a 'standard'
place, as it's an OS/gcc-version specific library.


  Has something gone wrong, or this this actually the case??


  For the time being, I've added a -R to the '*link:' spec file
entry.
