Can't build m68k-elf target with gcc-3.3.2 or gcc-3.4-20031224 tree

[Paul Cadaret]

Bernardo,
Thank you for the tip on removing the libstdc++-v3 directory prior to 
 running configure.
I was able to get through the build.  Now I'll look into what it will 
take to get libstdc++-v3
to build.

Thanks much.
