For kicks, I tried

AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS([stdc++])

but I got this error (with extra stuff cut out)

/bin/sh /net/filer/homes/dbyron/src/nimbus/agent/build-aux/missing --run
autoconf
Nested quantifiers in regex; marked by <-- HERE in ^LIBSTDC++ <-- HERE

/usr/local/tools/i686_Linux/autotools/bin/autom4te line 572, <GEN18> line
731.

These two lines at the beginning of AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS seem related:

  define([Name],[translit([$1],[./-], [____])])
  define([NAME],[translit([$1],[abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz./-],
                               [ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ___])])

I added conversion from + to _ to get by that, but then I get an error
running configure with the resulting --with-libstdc++-prefix option:

configure: error: invalid package name: libstdc++-prefix

Fishing for ideas...
