libstdc++ broken in gcc-2.95.2 on AIX

[James Carlson]

Libstdc++ gets built incorrectly on gcc-2.95.2 on AIX 4.1.5; it
attempts to reference a non-existent shared library file called ".".
This causes all applications built with "g++" on this platform to fail
like this:

% cat foo.cc
#include <iostream.h>
int main() { cout << "Hello, world!\n"; }
% g++ -o foo foo.cc
% foo
Could not load program foo 
Could not load library .
Error was: Permission denied
%

Other information:

% gcc -v

Gcc was configured with:

	/cdstaging/tmp/gcc-2.95.2/configure --enable-shared --with-gnu-as --enable-threads

And compiled with:

	make CFLAGS='-O' LIBCFLAGS='-g -O2' LIBCXXFLAGS='-g -O2 -fno-implicit-templates' bootstrap-lean

It appears to compile regular C programs with no trouble.  I built all
of perl-5.6.0, gtk-1.2.7, and gimp-1.0.4 as a test.  I'm experimenting
now to see if I can't clear up the libstdc++ problems by tinkering.
