I haven't had time to look into this yet.  FreeBSD AXP-5-CURRENT
(in-development version) has been *very* rocky for the past 3 mo.  So I
haven't had a really stable Alpha to test things on.  Loren is using an
outdated box for his testing.

Works for me.  *Personally*, I do not support people trying to use a
shared libstdc++ built from GCC sources.  Mostly because people forget to
supply the shared lib with their binaries, and I've seen recipients try
to symlink the base system's libstdc++ to the sh name the binary wants.
And of course the libs could be very different.
