Certainly stages 2 and 3 of a bootstrapped build would need to be 
configured differently for how to link with the new libstdc++, so 
different configure options would be right for that if anyone wishes to 
implement the various possibilities, rather than applying 
--with-host-libstdcxx there.

Apart from the linking with static libstdc++ by default, I imagine 
GNU/Linux distributors would wish to install GCC binaries that link with 
the shared libstdc++ (with no RPATH, relying on the shared library going 
in a system directory such as /usr/lib) and there are other cases that 
might sometimes be of use (linking with the shared library with either an 
absolute RPATH or one using $ORIGIN).
