This is one of the standard C libraries. If it's awol, something pretty
major is wrong. Glibc will be on CD 1 of any install. The usual thing is
like this-
rwxr-xr-x  1 root root     942 Dec 19 17:05 /hlfs/usr/lib/libstdc++.la
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      18 Dec 19 17:05 /hlfs/usr/lib/libstdc++.so
-> libstdc++.so.6.0.3
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      18 Dec 19 17:05 /hlfs/usr/lib/libstdc+
+.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.3
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 1467911 Dec 20 12:59 /hlfs/usr/lib/libstdc+
+.so.6.0.3

Check yourself very carefully here, as something stupid is probably at
the bottom of this. This is linux, not windows. Major files just don't
go awol overnight. One cannot, for instance, remove glibc to install a
fresh one, as things will barf.
