On a related note.  How long do we want to support that cruft at all?  I
mean the pre- and postdeps.   Objects and libraries.  I'm not aware of any
current g++ version (not to speak of proprietary compilers) which need
that explicit linking.  Instead a simple "g++ -shared -o libbla.so works".
Well, yes, those only having a static libstdc++ are screwed, but so what?
