libstdc++ clashes with libC system library on Irix 6.5

I did exactly the same 10 days ago, and the resulting libGLU.so seems
to work just fine with gcc-2.95.2 (only limited testing so far,
though).  I actually didn't have to reconstruct header files
(everything but libGLU didn't build, however), only a more or less
trivial patch, which I've already send to the OpenGL-Sample-mailing
list (archive is available via http://oss.sgi.com ).

Also, I asked on that list whether it is OK to distribute the
resulting libGLU.so, and this was deemed OK under the provision that
it is clearly marked not to come from SGI.

Wolfram.
