Re: Couldn't build libstdc++ (configure fails)

Hi

I've got the same problem as you.   I put together a patch for GCC
that solve this problem and submitted to gcc-patches yesterday.
You might want to try it at
    http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2000-11/msg01824.html
It's a bug in glibc 2.1 header and libstdc++-v3 won't build on these
systems.
