[Bug libstdc++/18889] Unable to build libstdc++-v3

Sorry for the late reply.  Yes, I've noticed that gcc-3.4.0 and 3.4.1 has been 
successfully built for powerpc, which is why I figured I might have done 
something wrong.

I upgraded to binutils-2.14 and glibc-2.3.3.  Still, libstdc++-v3 would not 
successfully build.  I looked through the link process, and found what .o files 
were causing the multiple definition errors, and determined that libtool was 
calling gcc incorrectly (as Andrew mentioned).

As a test, I then downloaded and built libtool-1.5.10 locally, and when 
libstdc++-v3 failed to link, I overwrote the libtool script included with gcc 
(looks to be "1.4a-GCC3.0") with the one installed in /usr/bin, and ran make 
again.  Aside from getting a "libtool: ignoring unknown tag CXX" error, 
libstdc++-v3 linked fine.  I can compile, link, and run C++ programs which use 
the stdc library without problems.

After continuing the build process, libjava also ran into exactly the same 
problem.  Replacing libtool and running make again made the build process 
complete successfully.

So... it looks like the version of libtool included with gcc just needs a small 
version up, perhaps?
