[avr-gcc-list] building gcc/g++ for AVR

[Peter Jansen]

I'm trying to build g++ for the AVR and the following works but don't
quite what is in the libstdc++ that was too big to combile for the AVR.

So I do the following,

If you use the --prefix option for the configure lines, then make sure
that you use it in every place.

The question is what does the misc-inst.cc library for and is their some
option when building g++ not to build the libstdc++ or is this an
intergral part of the c++ compiler.

Obviously when embedding c++ on the AVR we have to be carful of which
libraries to use so as not to use too much space.

Any one got any ideas on how to make misc-inst smaller or what building
g++ has to do with building libstdc++? Is their some build options so as
not to build libstdc++?

Thanks,
