  I bumped into this same problem and "fixed" it by modifying
g++spec.c.  I'm pretty sure this is not the correct way to do this.
But it does seem to work.  Here is the change I made to
gcc/cp/g++spec.c:

  /* Add `-lstdc++' if we haven't already done so.  */
  if (library)
    {
      arglist[j++] = "-lstdc++";
      added_libraries++;
+     arglist[j++] = "-ldce";
+     added_libraries++;
    }

  Perhaps someone else knows a better way to do this.
