I believe that version applies to x86 linux and x86-64 linux.  I don't
know about Sparc linux.  The only hard fact I can confirm first-hand is
that the latest binutils from FC3 updates works for me on x86_64.

Yes, I know.  I'm in the process of updating the libstdc++ docs here,
which are very out of date:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/install.html#prereqs

I will also have to add something to the main config docs to say that
libstdc++ (and other runtime libs) may have more specific requirements,
so check the relevant docs.
