+Here's one way to build and install a C++ runtime library for GNU CC:

+@item
+Build and install GNU CC, so that invoking @samp{gcc} obtains the GNU CC
+that was just built.
+
+@item
+Obtain a copy of a compatible @samp{libstdc++} distribution.  For
+example, the @samp{libstdc++-2.8.0.tar.gz} distribution should be
+compatible with GCC 2.8.0.  GCC distributors normally distribute
+@samp{libstdc++} as well.
+
+@item
+Set the @samp{CXX} environment variable to @samp{gcc} while running the
+@samp{libstdc++} distribution's @file{configure} command.  Use the same
+@file{configure} options that you used when you invoked GCC's
+@file{configure} command.
+
+@item
+Invoke @samp{make} to build the C++ runtime.
+
+@item
+Invoke @samp{make install} to install the C++ runtime.
+
+@end itemize
+
+To summarize, after building and installing GNU CC, invoke the following
+shell commands in the topmost directory of the C++ library distribution.
+For @var{configure-options}, use the same options that
+you used to configure GNU CC.
+
+@example
+$ CXX=gcc ./configure @var{configure-options}
+$ make
+$ make install
