Just thought i'd give out a warning, i just noticed that libstdc++
headers are broken. I can compile c++ programs as long as they don't use
the STL, the libstdc++ binary is fine, but compiling c++ stuff that uses
the standard library fails (sometimes, mjpegtools for example works).

I haven't figured out yet why it broke, currently recasting g++ to see
if it makes a difference. It could be caused by the glibc update, gcc
3.4.1 or by the split spells as far as i can tell.
