It *should*, but it did not. That's why Benjamin suggested to me doing a
separate 'make all-target-libstdc++-v3'.

Well, I started with having gcc 2.95.2 - the last "official" release,
from 1999, already installed. Then I downloaded egcs-20000807.tar and
egcs-g++-20000807.tar (BTW: Do I need both tar files?) and did a
configure, a bootstrap and an install. This resulted in several binaries
placed into my install directory (i.e. ./local):

local/bin:
c++*                      gcc*                      jv-scan*
c++filt*                  gccbug*                  
sparc-sun-solaris2.7-c++*
chill*                    gcj*                     
sparc-sun-solaris2.7-g++*
cpp*                      gcjh*                    
sparc-sun-solaris2.7-gcc*
g++*                      gcov*                     
g77*                      jcf-dump*    

Also, local/info, local/man/man1 and share/locale/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES had
some files in it, but local/include was empty,
local/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/include contained only assert.h and only the
following libraries were built:

lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/2.96/sparcv9/libg2c.a
lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/2.96/sparcv9/libgcc.a
lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/2.96/sparcv9/libchill.a
lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/2.96/libgcc.a
lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/2.96/libg2c.a
lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/2.96/libchill.a
lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.7/2.96/libobjc.a
lib/libiberty.a
lib/sparcv9/libiberty.a

When I do a 'make all', I observe two things:

- The include directory is still empty
- I don't get the error messages which appear when I do a 'make
all-target-libstdc++-v3'

The last observation seems to indicate, that neither 'make all' nor
'make bootstrap' even *tries* to build the library.

I put /usr/xpg4/bin in front of my path and again do a 'make
all-target-libstdc++-v3'. Now the make runs considerably longer, does a
*lot* of "checking for ... declaration" stuff, most checks being
answered by "no". Then it starts to compile the libstdc++-v3 files. In
the end, I get the following error messages:

At least, we are a small step further ;-)
