It shouldn't do that. The old libs and V3 co-exist peacefully on my system. I
havn't tried building anything with 2.95.2, but RedHat's 2.96 seems to link
the right libs just fine.

--disable-libstdcxx-v3 ? But you probibly don't want to do that. libgcj won't
work without v3 (actually, it doesn't need libstdc++ at all, but it does need
libsupc++ - which only builds as part of v3)
