Hi Ralf,

it would be good to see those patches and possible a mark to those
concerns. I would be real happy if we finally could make those patches
for libtool, so that for gcc the w64 can build shared libstdc++
version. There are bugs within none-shared libstdc++ in string class
(reasoned by lazy initialization IIUC), which can be solved by the
shared version.

Cheers,
Kai
