I originally found the need for the above-mentioned patch when building against the cvs repository just hours before the gcc-3.0.1 release.  However, when I built against the release itself (from a tar file), I did not see the same problems in evidence.  So I currently have no opinion on whether or not my patch should be applied to the libstdc++ sources.

Hope this helps.
