It appears that I cannot control where the compiler is looking for 
its c++ includes, the Makefile apparently being permanently locked 
to -I/usr/include, which of course is supposedly deprecated in the 
first place, and sure as heck not where gcc3.2 puts them.  The STL 
stuffs get put in

/usr/local/gcc3.2/include/c++/3.2/bits

And in one install they wound up in

/usr/local/gcc3.2/include/c++/3.2/i686--pc-linux-gnu/include/

but I tore that one out as being totally unusable in the real world.

This install is almost sane compared to my first two tries.
