Building gcc 4.8.2 and libstdc++ with --disable-shared --with-pic

[Egon Kocjan]

Hi

I've been using a toolchain with gcc 4.2.4 with configure flags 
--disable-shared --with-pic, which works nicely. But now that I've 
upgraded to gcc 4.8.2, the configure flags --disable-shared --with-pic 
do not seem to work anymore - the result is non-pic libstdc++.a. This is 
a workaround, that I'm using at the moment to get pic libstdc++.a:

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in libstdc++ configure?

Thanks,
