[[!tag open_issue_porting open_issue_gcc fixed_in_debian]]

Modify the [[hurd/building/cross-compiling]] shell script to configure GCC for
building GCC with C++ support when building its second (i.e., final) version.

Compiling a most-trivial C++ program used to work with GCC 4.2 and 4.3 (and the
resulting binaries would also work), but linking fails with GCC SVN trunk:

Whether this defect report also applies to a natively-build GCC from SVN trunk
has not yet been checked.

[[Thomas_Schwinge|tschwinge]] suspects the problem to be a configuration issue
of a GCC helper library, whose configuration setup has changed after GCC 4.3.

The need for `-lpthread` is another story.  See the Debian glibc patches
repository for details.
