Thanx Jochen.

That's what I suspected.  It won't be difficult to fix within a standard 
g++ build, for the moment, but I am concerned for the future.

I can understand the choice to create a custom build system for a very 
large project like Chromium, but not for something as relatively simple as 
V8.  I have no intention of building any version of the full browser and I 
doubt that many in this group will, either.  In 40+ years of professional 
software development I have had to learn many different build systems (and 
even more programming languages) and I really don't want to waste my 
efforts delving into the fine details of another.  Especially since I would 
only be using it for one project.

All we really need are easily constructed, static and shared libraries 
(and, if possible, a little better documentation) . . .

Nevertheless, thanks for all your work here.  It really is greatly 
appreciated . . .
