May be that was necessary in the older versions, but  I don't think it should
be the case now. 

I am compiling c++ program for HPUX Archive, between each stable ralease of
gcc, we may compile hundredrs of c++ programs, Recompiling all this program
with the new release of gcc is a rather tedious job.

I don't want to keep different version of gcc. I just want the line below:


/opt/mehdi/gcc11/lib/gcc-lib/hppa2.0n-hp-hpux11.00/3.0.3/../../../libstdc++.sl.3
 

changed to:

/opt/mehdi/gcc11/lib/libstdc++.sl.3

I am using binutils-2.11.2. And I 've already set the path to 
 --with-gnu-as=/opt/binutils/bin/as

Thanks again
