Re: Need assistance QNX libc/GNU libstdc++ header file conflicts

Yeah.... hadn't thought of this, actually.

I guess the way around this would be to install the "C" headers as part
of the target-specific header folder.

Right. You can still use the generical frameworks though.
Please post the patch to the libstdc++ list.
