--disable is for things a package provides.
--without is for things the package uses.

Libbanshee is utility library used by gcc, not a library provided by gcc.
Hence libbanshee is --without, and language runtine libraries (eg. libstdc++) 
would be --disable.

Some confusion is probably caused because libbanshee is automatically built 
when gcc wants to use it.
