           Summary: make assumes that binutils are installed
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libstdc++
        AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org
        ReportedBy: sean at mcneil dot com
                CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org
  GCC host triplet: i386-unknown-freebsd4.8
GCC target triplet: mips-wrs-vxworks

When compiling a fresh cross, libstdc++ assumes that the binutils have already
been installed.  This is evident in the fact that gcc and libgcc all build fine
yet configure looks for things incorrectly:

Configuring in mips-wrs-vxworks/libstdc++-v3
