And is it specific to trunk (meaning does it work with 1.9 without adding
-lstdc++) ? It's interesting since someone reported a few days/weeks ago a
similar problem with CentOS I believe. I haven't in mind a change that would
have directly targetted changing libstdc++ linking, but it is probably a
side-effect of something else. Might depend on which external libs are linked
too : perhaps some indirectly bring libstdc++ dependency, and when they are not
linked in, it isn't found
