In the message you quote, I said:

Was there ever a follow-up to that message?  It is difficult for me to
fix problems if I don't understand what is causing them.  Or perhaps
this is really some different problem now?

Assuming the problem is the same, then:

If you also just want a quick fix for yourself then you could try
editing the generated config.h file so that it defines
CXX_ISO_COMPLIANT_LIBRARY.

If you'd like to try to help actually fix this problem for everyone,
then can you examine the config.log file and try to determine why
CXX_ISO_COMPLIANT_LIBRARY is not defined on your system when it seems
it should if you are using GCC 4.3.3.
