This bug also occurs when --enable-languages=c,c++.  I am building a cross
compiler for ColdFire uClinux, TARGET=m68k-uclinux.  On Mac OS X
HOST=BUILD=x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0, there are no errors.  On Linux i386
HOST=BUILD=i686-pc-linux-gnu, I get the undefined references to
__cxa_guard_acquire and __cxa_guard_release.

The bug is due to the link step for cc1, lto1 (maybe more) using gcc; it should
be using g++ (see below).  I don't know which Makefile(s) to fix.  It also
looks like the command emitted depends on the HOST or BUILD platform.

CentOS Linux has such an old gcc, it does not recognize -static-libstdc++

# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 6.3 (Final)

# gcc -v

This is the (first) make command that fails (I did a make -j4, so the link of
lto1 also failed)

Using g++ instead of gcc cures the problem
