Problem building libsdc++-v3 in a cross compile environment (zSeries, PPC64)

["Hartmut Penner" <HPENNER at de dot ibm dot com>]

Tried to build a cross-compiler for zSeries (64 bit) on an x86 system on
cvs head.
I get a failure while configuring the libstdc++. This also happens when
building a powerpc64 cross
compiler.
      regards, Hartmut

Configure:
 ../gcc-head/configure  --target=s390x-ibm-linux --enable-languages=c,c++
--disable-multilib

...
