Re: bugs: gcc with stdc++-v3, rawhide's gcc, stlport, cxxrt

Levente,
Instead of using an rpm, the instructions for using libtdc++-v3 are 
geared toward using source distributions. Becase of this, they depend on 
the stability of gcc, et. al. Figuring out what sources to use is a bit 
of an art....

This seems to be the current state of the art...

might as well just post it for everybody...
