Please file an official GNATS report, if you haven't already.
If you have the ability when filing it, please assign it to ``ljrittle''
(if you don't please send me an e-mail with the PR number once you file it).

It would be very helpful for me to understand exactly why this
libstdc++-v3 configure code doesn't work on your platform:

  AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS([d=include/bits
    rm -f $d/gthr.h $d/gthr-single.h $d/gthr-default.h
    sed '/^#/s/\([A-Z_][A-Z_]*\)/_GLIBCPP_\1/g' <$d/gthr.h-in >$d/gthr.h
    [...] ])

If I had to guess given the failure mode, I would swear that your
sed(1) isn't treating upper case differently than lower case.  Can you
please confirm that to be true?

Here is a simple test:

	echo a | sed 's/[A-Z_]/fail/'

Please report ``sed --version'' and any evironment variables that
might be affecting this (can locale affect it? Yikes!).
