It is working now. I can't reproduce the problem, it looks like it is
already fixed.

I think we can go with the second variant first. If there is a
complaint, we can then consider switching to the first one. Does that
sound good? Also, second patch probably needs to remove lines below
from the src/tools/pginclude/README:

```
If you are using a non-g++-compatible C++ compiler, you may need to
override the script's CXXFLAGS setting by setting a suitable environment
value.
```
