Problem building libstdc++ for the avr target

[Vladimir V]

Thank you for the quick reply.

I am wondering if the freestanding libstdc++ requires that only
freestanding subset of the underlying libc is used?
avr-libc has stdlib.h with malloc declaration but it is not 'visible' in
this code. I was thinking that maybe something like that
would work (works in my case):

diff --git a/libstdc++-v3/include/c_global/cstdlib
b/libstdc++-v3/include/c_global/cstdlib
index 47b954cf2..f04fd08de 100644

 // The C standard does not require a freestanding implementation to
 // provide <stdlib.h>.  However, the C++ standard does still require
 // <cstdlib> -- but only the functionality mentioned in

It includes the stdlib.h from target libc if it is present.
