[libstdc++,google] Make bits/stamp-bits generated by libstc++-v3/include a regular file

[Simon Baldwin]

Make bits/stamp-bits generated by libstc++-v3/include a regular file.

Building stamp-bits-sup in libstdc++-v3/include creates a bits/stamp-bits
file.  Because it's generated by 'ln -s stamp-bits .', the file is a
symbolic link that points back to itself.  This prevents cpio -L from
copying the built tree ("Too many levels of symbolic links").

This change removes the self-referential bits/stamp-bits and replaces it
with a regular timestamp file, allowing cpio -L to handle it cleanly.

Primarily needed for google/integration.  OK?

Secondarily, equally applicable to trunk.  OK there also?

Yes.

I'll defer to the libstdc++ folks for this one.

Looks safe enough to me.

Eventually, this whole stamp file stuff in v3/include should probably
go, it is fragile and error-prone, and probably not needed.  4.7
material.

Thanks,
Ralf

Ok then.

I see, thanks for the suggestion, let's remember it when 4.6 branches!
