Even when you compile gcc with --enable-languages=c, libstdc++ is
compiled. If you don't want this you can simply delete the libstdc++
directory before you run configure. Just don't forget to only compile for
c support. Currently with x86-64 development I delete fastjar, libjava,
texinfo, libstdc++, texinfo, zlib and boehm-gcc for faster compilation
during development.
