    <para>Libstdc++ is the standard C++ library. It is needed 
    to compile C++ code
    (part of GCC is written in C++), but we had to defer its installation
    when we built <xref linkend="ch-tools-gcc-pass1"/>
    because it depends on glibc, which was not yet available in the target
    directory.
