+Subject: [PATCH 20/35] optional libstdc
+
+gcc-runtime builds libstdc++ separately from gcc-cross-*. Its configure tests using g++
+will not run correctly since by default the linker will try to link against libstdc++
+which shouldn't exist yet. We need an option to disable -lstdc++
+option whilst leaving -lc, -lgcc and other automatic library dependencies added by gcc
+driver. This patch adds such an option which only disables the -lstdc++.
+
+A "standard" gcc build uses xgcc and hence avoids this. We should ask upstream how to
+do this officially, the likely answer is don't build libstdc++ separately.
