This list is for version 3 of GCC's standard C++ library, which didn't
ship with GCC until version 3.0.  GCC 2.9x shipped with libstdc++-v2
which is now unsupported and unmaintained.

Please see http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/faq/index.html#4_4_interface

You might be able to get some support from your system vendor if you're
using a GCC version such as RedHat's 2.96 or FreeBSD's 2.95.4, but the
libstdc++ maintainers won't look at problems with the old v2 library.

You shouldn't need a password for ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gcc/

hope that helps,
