Re: Announcing libstdc++-2.90.7

["Matthew Brown" <mbrown at mediadb dot net>]

In addition, the install fails with message:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target
`//d/cygnus/cygwin-b20/include/g++-v3/bits/ctype_base.h', needed by
`myinstallheaders'.

The problem seems to be a related target that generates the installation
directory and does most of the header installation. I fixed it with the
following change on line 500 of 'src/Makefile.in':
was --
$(headers:%=$(myincludepfx)%): $(myincludepfx)%: %
now --
$(headers:%=$(myincludepfx)%) $(myincludepfx)%: %

-- Matthew Brown
