Perhaps that should be documented. I had always considered the C++ 
standard library to be a part of the C++ ABI.

I was told on IRC that I could get the effect I want by using standard 
gcc as the driver and manually linking in stdc++.so.5 and supc++.a - is 
this a supported general technique (ie will the names/paths of these 
libs change in future)? Is this the right way to convince GCC 3.4 to 
produce C++ binaries that can run on systems with the v1 C++ ABI?
