If you use the -fnew-abi option of G++, you need to BUILD libgcc
and libstdc++ with that option. -fnew-abi is not a runtime option that
you can select arbitrarily and co-exist with the old ABI. The new ABI
affects mangling of C++ symbols. This is why -fnew-abi is waiting for a
lot of functionality before it is enabled, because it will break
compatibility with old object files and libraries.
