My proposed fix

I was having trouble building uClibc++ in Openwrt. I figured out that the
problem was that the LIBSUP_DEP variable, which is a filename that gets created
during the build, was too long for my file system. The name generated was over
150 char long and my fs has a limit of 143. I guess this because I have an
encrypted homedir. Anyway, I analyzed the build system of uClibc++, and it
seems to vary with the file location for libsupc++.a which is used to extract a
bunch of symbols and create the static lib. I couldn't think of a reason that
the filename needs to vary, so I changed the file to a static name, which was
also much shorter. This fixed the problem, and it builds successfully.
