I'm not sure what debian policy says (and I'm not aware of all shared
library magic either). But I'd recommend using an explicit -lstdc++,
as that's necessary if libfoo happens to be a static library, and I
generally want makefiles to work the same way on machines and
platforms that for some reason use static libraries.
