    building in a separate directory.</para>

    <para><parameter>--enable-shared --enable-languages=c,c++

    and enable the related <application>C++</application> options.</para>

    <para><command>mv -v /opt/gcc-&gcc3-version;/lib/libstdc++.so.5*

      installed compiler, add
      <filename class="directory">/opt/gcc-&gcc3-version;/bin</filename> to the
      front of your <envar>PATH</envar> or (preferably) set the <envar>CC</envar>
      environment variable before compiling the concerned package.</para>
