compiling gcc-3.0.4 on Tru64 v4.0G: dies with 'Can't locate filefor: -lstdc++'

	You are probably trying to build gcc from Compaq's cc and do not have 
previous version of gcc installed (I had the same problem ;-)). As a 
workaround, I tried configure with "--disable-shared" option and the 
build went perfectly fine. After you have made a build with static 
libraries, you could try the build with dynamic library.

Hope that helps.
