Oh, my mistake. Yes, those guys could go into a C++-specific library.
That place shouldn't be libstdc++, though; you should no more need
libstdc++ to build a C++ program than you should need libc to build a
C program. Some of these functions (new, delete, RTTI support, etc.)
are require to implement the base language, I think.
