Yep. The difference is that GCC 3.0 builds shared libraries by
default. GCC 2.95 didn't.
For backward compatibility, it would be enough to AC_DISABLE_SHARED in
libstdc++-v3/configure.in (except that we'd still create a shared
libgcc_s, that would still be linked into user-created shared
libraries).
OTOH, it might be reasonable to have shared libraries enabled by
default. I suppose most installations of GCC have a shared libstdc++
these days, so the default would just follow common practice. But I
may be wrong in this assumption.
