I don't think so -- not until we actually turn on the demangler in the
runtime library.
And Jason points out that Zack and I blew it: cp-demangle.c depends
on the (even more trivial) dyn-string.c. So, we need to ask the FSF
to libgcc-ize that code too, or reimplement cp-demangle.c without
using dyn-string.
