This fixes an annyoing regression introduced in 2012 by this change:
  https://codereview.appspot.com/5394041

The idea of the change is to interpolate the value passed to --with-sysroot in 
the value passed to --with-gxx-include-dir, so that you can change the sysroot 
at run time, i.e. pass --sysroot to the compiler, and have the gxx-include-dir 
automatically translated relatively to the new sysroot.

The original submission did just that:
  https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-11/msg01751.html
but it was probably done against a branch so the version eventually installed 
does the interpolation unconditionally, i.e. even when gxx-include-dir is the 
default C++ include path in the install tree.

The result is that, if you configure --with-sysroot with a value that happens 
to be identical to the start of the default C++ path in the install tree, the 
mechanism triggers and the C++ include path is completely broken if you pass 
--sysroot to the compiler.  IOW the same issue as the one meant to be fixed, 
but this time when --with-gxx-include-dir is not passed.

So the attached patch restores the original implementation by doing the 
interpolation only when both --with-sysroot and --with-gxx-include-dir are 
specified on the configure line.

Tested on x86-64/Linux, applied on the mainline as obvious.

        * configure.ac (gcc_gxx_include_dir_add_sysroot): Set it to 1 only
        when --with-gxx-include-dir is also specified.
        * configure: Regenerate.
