rename:
Libstdc++-8.1.0 -> GCC-8.1.0-pass2
GCC-8.1.0-pass2 -> GCC-8.1.0-pass3
I think we can use "GCC-8.1.0 C++ Runtime Library" just like
"Linux-4.17.1 API Headers".
Is that really necessary? The very first line after the title is:
"Libstdc++ is the standard C++ library."
After all, I think "Libstdc++-8.1.0" is quite strange. In fact the version
of libstdc++ is 6.0.25. Upstream uses the name "GCC 8.1 Standard C++ Library"
<http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/>.
FWIIW: Technically, the installation of libstdc++ completes gcc-pass1.
It has to be deferred to after building glibc, because libstdc++ uses
it. Maybe, we could have:
- on the gcc-pass1 page, in "the meaning of the configure options",
about --disable-libstdcxx (separate it from the other "--disable-xxx"):
"This switch disables building the standard C++ library, which is
normally part of GCC installation. The C++ standard library is needed to
compile C++ code (part of GCC is written in C++), but we have to defer
its installation, because it depends on glibc, which is not yet
available in /tools. The installation of GCC-pass1 will be completed
when installing libstdc++ (make an xref to the libstdc++ page)"
- on the "libstdc++" page: change the title to "GCC-<version> - End of
Pass1"
Change the introduction to: "Now that glibc is available, the
installation of GCC-pass1 can be completed by building the standard C++
library. It is needed for the correct operation of the g++ compiler."
As usual when I write what I think is English, this text certainly needs
review...
