Great!  (I assume you mean V3).  It seems to have changed since I
looked at it last.

Now the problem is that V3 doesn't cross-configure from Solaris.  I get:

updating cache ../config.cache
/sloth/delay/tbox/cvs-gcc/egcs/libstdc++-v3/configure: test: argument expected

and the configuration stops.  This is just the usual breakage, though,
and probably easily fixed, as compared to the earlier situation where
it looked like lots of porting would be required.

So, go for it!

I'll look at it.


Thank you very much for your work!
