It's not just like building libc.so. The main difference is that we
don't have a compiler driver that won't link in libc by default, but
gcc will not link libstdc++ in, whereas g++ will. Arranging for us to
use gcc while building libstdc++ is enough. We don't have to pollute
libtool scripts with this special case. Especially with assumptions
about directory names, which strikes me as a very bad idea.
