Tony,

I like seeing that there is more then one way to fix a problem. Which
configuration did you build to need these fixes?

Your change makes me ask: Do we need libstdc++.a for a certain
configuration? Or for all?

The only configuration that I have noticed it on so far was this
powerpc-405-linux-gnu and powerpc-e500v2-linux-gnuspe. I would like to
try a few more configurations.

If we really need libstdc++.a for all toolchains, then we should add
it to the configure file. Otherwise, we should warn about it being
missing for this and/or other affected configurations until a better
solution can be formed. (bug?)
