Well, I'm asking for a friend [1]. It sounds like he's got one version 
of libstdc++ in his build infrastructure and another (older) version on 
his production machines. He wants to avoid using the older version (I 
think because of an issue with the STL) which is why he's trying to keep 
-lstdc++ out of the linker arguments.

Regardless of whether -static-libstdc++ is the solution he ultimately 
runs with, I think he's confused about _LT_SYS_HIDDEN_LIBDEPS -- as am 
I. The underlying compiler/linker seems to do a more refined job of 
adding/not adding these dependencies? Is there a recommended way to 
disable _LT_SYS_HIDDEN_LIBDEPS?

Thanks Mike!
