Re[2]: Announcing libstdc++-2.90.7

Hello Mumit,

It  seems  that  there  are problems when building in source directory
instead  of making a new directory and running configure from where. I
had  the same problem as Matt under Linux; building in other directory
(and installing from there) worked without problems.
