Re: Re[2]: Announcing libstdc++-2.90.7

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

I *did* configure and build from a separate directory -- it's a habit with
me.
I have successfully built and installed on my Solaris box, but it, again,
required a tweak. This one was with <srcdir>/config/solaris/ctype.cc:
The gcc 2.95.1 compiler complains about '__trans_upper' and __trans_lower'
being 'int *' while the left side of the related assignments are 'long int
*'. Performing a C-style cast to 'long int *' in these four statements
allows the compile to succeed.
