Missing libstdc++.la

[vr.sundar]

Running "make " on the 2.0 branch (revision 15519) gave me this error
in src/import-export/ofx directory:

grep: /usr/lib/libstdc++.la: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libstdc++.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libstdc++.la' is not a valid libtool archive
make[5]: *** [libgncmod-ofx.la] Error 1

I am on opensuse 10.2 and have compat-libstdc++, libstdc++41,
libstdc++41-devel and libstdc++-devel packages installed.

I found this thread that reports the same problem on 10.2:
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2006-10/msg00047.html It
also pointed out this bugzilla entry for this issue -
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=215548. They both indicate
that libstdc++.la was intentionally removed.  Is this a problem with
one of the libraries that gnucash depends on?  I haven't tried editing
libtool as suggested in the bugzilla entry. Probably will later on
today. Is that the way to go? Any other suggestions?

thanks
