True. However, I think this is the way out. As long as it's properly
documented, I think this will be ok.

Right. I was just using this to explain the idea. In reality, there
needs to be a __cxa_demangle in libsupc++, irregardless: libdemangle
should just link it from there and be done. Still, it's easier to
express the dependency info this way.
