>Description:
I use the configure option --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs together with a --prefix. The runtile libs for g++ (e.g. libstadc++.so.3) are then found at link time but not at runtime of the created binary. As a workaround I use an ugly wrapper witch adds the corresponding linker flag (e.g. for Solaris: -R/$MYPREFIX/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.0.4/), which is a real nightmare. The linker call must already posess the location of the libraries and should build it into the binary. 
>How-To-Repeat:
A gcc buit with this option fails the g++ test of the groff source with, because the simple c++ program binary does not find libstdc++.so.3
