The timestamps in objdir/libsupc++/Makefile does indicate it was modified
a few moments after the one in srcdir/... but the contents don't fill
me with confidence that it was really regenerated.   Sure enough, rerunning
configure in *v3/ returned it to the previous form of breakage.  Since I 
had two tree that both exhibited this same problem, doesn't this indicate
some missing dependency or something?   After all, _my_ configuration
didn't change...

As painful as v3's configure process is, it's true that I rely
on contrib_update and dependencies to DTRT.

Thanx,
