Problem with building gcc 4.9.0 (libstdc++)

["Kirill Voronin" <kvoronin at labchem dot sscc dot ru>]

I'm trying to build gcc 4.9.0 for linux (OS Red Hat, very old version).

I've installed manually mpc, gmp and mpfr before running ./configure

Configure line:
../gcc-4.9.0/configure --prefix=/usr/new/gcc_install --enable-shared
--with-gmp=/usr/new/gmp_install --with-mpfr=/usr/new/mpfc_install
--with-mpc=/usr/new/mpc_install

and it works fine.

But then I tried to make and got the following error:

checking for suffix of object files... configure: error: in
`/ifs/home/icmmg/voronin/pardiso_proekt/pardiso_project/new/gcc_dir/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libgcc':
configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile

The config.log file contains the following error:

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.64.  Invocation command line was

  $ ../gcc-4.9.0/configure
--prefix=/ifs/home/icmmg/voronin/pardiso_proekt/pardiso_project/new/gcc_install

--with-mpc=/ifs/home/icmmg/voronin/pardiso_proekt/pardiso_project/new/mpc_install

I believe, the main point is (or not) with
"g++: unrecognized option '-static-libstdc++'
conftest.cpp:11:2: error: #error -static-libstdc++ not implemented"

In any case, I don't know how to fix this.

Can anyone provide a useful advice how to tackle this issue?
