This has been discussed to death already, and there was someone
willing to work on a fix (sorry, I don't remember who it was :-(

There are two possible current workarounds:

1) modify the specs file (/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/*/*/specs) and add -R
to the `*link:' or `*lib:' pattern

2) modify `libstdc++/config/*.ml' and modify the `-h' or `-soname'
switch so that it includes the full pathname of the library.
