>From what I recall, fixing libstdc++3 to build on a modern system would
be distinctly non-trivial, so all we can do is remove it.  We could
patch the source to not attempt to build that part of the package,
leaving gcc-3.0 itself available as a compiler alternative for hppa, if
the PA folks feel that this is important to them.
