[v3/wwwdocs] patch for making older snapshot work with 2.95.3

The last libstdc++ snapshot that can be used with gcc 2.95.2 is 2.90.8;
after that there were changes in the compiler itself which the library
sources tracked.  However, the 2.90.8 snapshot doesn't work with the 2.95.3
compiler, due to the very changes which made 2.95.3 necessary in the first
place (i.e., glibc).

This updates the v3 status.html page, and adds a trivial patch for those
users who want to go that route, in case they can't use GCC 3.0 but still
want libstdc++-v3.  The patch is below, the new file is attached.  It'll be
in the unchanging wwwdocs area rather than the rebuilt-daily onlinedocs area.
