>Description:
When determining the default g++ include directory gcc/configure.in assumes that libdir=$(exec_prefix)/lib which is not always the case.

in gcc/configure.in we have:

if test x${gcc_gxx_include_dir} = x; then
  if test x${enable_version_specific_runtime_libs} = xyes; then
    gcc_gxx_include_dir='${libsubdir}/include/g++'
  else
    topsrcdir=${srcdir}/.. . ${srcdir}/../config.if
changequote(<<, >>)dnl
    gcc_gxx_include_dir="\$(libsubdir)/\$(unlibsubdir)/..\`echo \$(exec_prefix) 
| sed -e 's|^\$(prefix)||' -e 's|/[^/]*|/..|g'\`/include/"${libstdcxx_incdir}
changequote([, ])dnl
  fi
fi

in libstdc++-v3/aclocal.m4 (in the definition of GLIBCPP_EXPORT_INSTALL_INFO
used in libstdc++-v3/configure.in) we have

# Default case for install directory for include files.
if test $version_specific_libs = no &&
   test $gxx_include_dir = no; then
  gxx_include_dir='$(prefix)'/include/g++-${libstdcxx_interface}
fi

So in the case where libdir=/usr/lib/gnu/gcc and prefix=/usr we get

/usr/lib/gnu/gcc/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.1/../../../../include/g++-v3
for the search path and /usr/include/g++-v3 for the install path. This is wrong.

Workaround: Configure with --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/g++-v3
>How-To-Repeat:
../gcc-3.1/configure  --prefix=/usr \
                         --libdir=/usr/lib/gnu/gcc \
                         --enable-languages=c,c++

make bootstrap
make install

The resulting g++ will not find the c++ include files installed under /usr/include/g++-v3
>Fix:
Use the same logic to determine both the installation and the search paths? :-)

 I have a similar problem (except not with autoconf, since
 I just use the release 3.2.1 source.)  'make install' installs
 g++ header files in $(profix)/common/c++/3.2.1/ but then g++
 looks for the files not using prefix.  It seems to do something
 strange related to where the executable is.  I show two runs of g++:
 one from a symbolic link in /usr/new/bin (and /usr/new/lib/lib-gcc
 points 
 to $(exec-prefix)/lib/gcc-lib) and one directly using the full path
 without any symbolic links.  In both cases the files aren't found:

 My current "fix" is to edit the binaries in emacs to put in the correct
 paths.
 But I wonder why g++ tries to do tricky things with ../../ working
 backwards from
 gcc-lib rather than just use the same place that things were installed.

 Could you try 3.2?  These two blocks of script have been reworked to provide
 versioned include directories.  There were some nits but I believe they've
 been fixed now.
