Re: moved cvs into gcc-2.92.2, configure still broken

[Benjamin Kosnik <bkoz at redhat dot com>]

Here's what I did, and it appears to be working. Can other people post
if they can get current CVS to configure/build correctly, or if they
are having problems?

1) check out libstdc++-v3 from sourceware.
   For the sake of discussion, the resulting file will be
   ./src.libstdc++-v3

2) get the gcc-2.95.2 tarball, untar.
   The resulting sources will be
   ./src.gcc-2.95.2

3) cd src.gcc-2.95.2
   mv libstdc++ libstdc++-v2
   (at this point, if you are only doing v-3 work you could also do
   mv libio libio-v2)
   cd ..

4) cp -R src.libstdc++-v3 src.gcc-2.95.2/libstdc++-v3

5) mkdir bld-tmp; cd bld-tmp
   ../src.gcc-2.95.2/libstdc++-v3/configure --verbose --prefix=../H-libstdc++-v3

[this configures correctly for me, and the build is cool, with current
CVS sources on x86/linux]

??

What's different between our two approaches?
