Couldn't build libstdc++ (configure fails)


Hello -
I have downloaded libstdc++ 2.91, and tried to install the library
(together with gcc 2.95.2) on a cluster of Linux PCs.  I have removed from
the 2.95.2 distribution both the libio and libstdc++ directory, and
renamed libstdc++-2.91 as libstdc++.

After the commands "../gcc-2.95.2/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc" and
"make", all the compilers have been successfully built.  I did not give a
"make bootstrap" because I already know that the 2.95.2 compilers will be
built correctly.

While trying to configure in libstdc++ I get the following error messages
from configure:

ltconfig: unrecognized option `--build=i686-pc-linux-gnu'
Try `ltconfig --help' for more information.
configure: error: libtool configure failed

and the C++ standard library is, of course, not built.  I have currently
the same gcc 2.95.2 installed with libstdc++ 2.90.8; and the libtool
installed is:

MLO@mlinux 88 $ libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.3.5 (1.385.2.206 2000/05/27 11:12:27)

Any hint?  I am no configure nor libtool expert :-(
