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.
|

</p><p>
|

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

in mind that

<a class="link" href="http://sourceware.org/autobook/autobook/autobook_14.html" target="_top">they

all have opposite forms as well</a> (enable/disable and

|

for released versions.
|

</p><p>The canonical way to find out the configure options that are

The choice OPTION=yes checks for the availability of the facilities
