For just the language support, you are on the right track - get libstdc++ built,
then link with libsupc++, the C++ language support library. I am doing exactly
this, with newlib, for a PowerPC target.

Take care with crt0 and the linker script - there are C++ aspects to both. The
default linker script that gcc produces is a good starting point.

For full STL you need all the headers, and libstdc++.
