I must apologize here for my error. The problem is that I was trying
to keep the old version of g++ (mars 1990) with the new one. I had an old
version of cc1plus in /usr/local/bin and the new version in /usr/local/bin/lib.
g++ found the old one :-(.

So my final solution is

  o  g++      in /usr/local/bin/g++
  o  cc1plus  in /usr/local/bin/lib/cc1plus
  o  collect  in /usr/local/bin/lib/collect
   
  o  gnulib   in /usr/local/bin/lib/gnulib
  o  libg++.a in /usr/local/bin/lib/libg++.a

  o  Remove all other version of these files from /usr/local/bin

   
I finally fixed up everything and, after applying the available patches from
interviews.stanford.edu to the X11R4 original distribution, I was able to compile
the library (libInterViewsX11.a). My only problem for the moment is that "gas"
must be in /bin/as so that g++ can find it.  Apple cc becomes difficult to use then.

I would like to congratulate John Coolidge for all this great work on gcc and
g++ for the Mac. Happy holidays for you too John !
