The first sentence of the first paragraph of
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/install.html is

#    You will need a recent version of g++ to compile the snapshot of
#    libstdc++, one of the post-2.95.2 GCC snapshots (insert standard caveat
#    about using snapshots rather than formal releases).

The first paragraph of http://gcc.gnu.org/libstdc++/status.html is

#    Compiling this library requires sources of a recent version of
#    GCC. We suggest using CVS GCC. The latest library snapshot has
#    also been tested with this recent GCC snapshot: 2001-01-22, which
#    is available from a GCC mirror site under the snapshots directory
#    as "2001-01-22/gcc[-g++]-20010122.tar.gz", or via CVS using the
#    "gcc_ss_20010122" checkout tag.


If that's not clear enough, patches to make it more clear are welcome.
