This is not a change.  It's always been true.  Now, maybe you were able
to get away with it before... I certainly couldn't, and I've been
building glibc before target libstdc++ since before GCC 2.95.

No one's got the combination of time, experience, and motivation to
write any.  I may for the 3.4 release, at which time it will be a heck
of a lot simpler.  Need to fix a bug in glibc's install_headers rule
first.
