This is a bug in the libg++ 2.8.0 release.  It won't build properly for
any target that uses `multilibs'.  irix6 is multilibbed because we want to
build both N32 and N64 versions of the library.  (The gcc irix6 port doesn't
support O32 yet.  You can configure for irix5 if you need that.)

Since libg++ is being obsoleted, I recommend that you get the libstdc++
release instead, which does not have this problem.  libstdc++ contains
everything in libg++ except for the GNU class library.  The GNU class library
was not very widely used, and is much less interesting now that we have
a standard class library, so it is unlikely that you need it.

If collect2 does anything useful, it should have been built and installed
by default.  Why do you think that collect2 will help you?

This indicates that you accidentally mixed cc/O32 and gcc/N32 objects
which isn't going to work.  You probably typed the wrong make command
somewhere.  I suspect you tried to build collect2 in an existing 3-staged
build directory simply by typing `make collect2'.  In that case, the correct
command would be `make CC="stage2/xgcc -Bstage2/" CFLAGS="-g -O2" collect2'.
