Interesting side note: I was told by Benjamin Kosnik, that recent egcs
releases are already integrated with libstdc++-v3. So when I invoked
configure the very first time, I should have stumbled over this problem
already then. But the first configure ran through it without problems.
Here is what I used for configuring:

$srcdir/configure --prefix=$instdir --with-local-prefix=$instdir
--enable-haifa --enable-language=c++ --enable-honor-std
--enable-libstdcxx-v3

(Benjamin told be that --encable-honor-std is not necessary anymore, but
I guess it did not hurt either).
