+ When configuring libstdc++, you'll have to configure the entire
+ <span class="emphasis"><em>gccsrcdir</em></span> directory. Consider using the
+ toplevel gcc configuration option
+ <code class="literal">--enable-languages=c++</code>, which saves time by only
+ building the C++ toolchain.

+ Here are all of the configure options specific to libstdc++. Keep

+ <a class="ulink" href="http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.57/html_node/autoconf_131.html#SEC131" target="_top">they

+ with/without). The defaults are for the <span class="emphasis"><em>current
+ development sources</em></span>, which may be different than those
+ for released versions.
+</p><p>The canonical way to find out the configure options that are
+ available for a given set of libstdc++ sources is to go to the
+ source directory and then type:<span class="command"><strong>./configure --help</strong></span>.
+</p><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term"><code class="code">--enable-multilib</code>[default]</span></dt><dd><p>This is part of the generic multilib support for building cross

+ The choice OPTION=yes checks for the availability of the facilities
+ in libc and libposix4. In case of need the latter is also linked
+ to libstdc++ as part of the build process. OPTION=rt also searches
+ (and, in case, links) librt. Note that the latter is not always
