That's actually a different problem, what you're seeing there is that
-static-libstdc++ is ignored on Darwin (dropped silently)...

... I.e.  -static-libstdc++ only works on Darwin with a patch which I got fed
up with pinging after 4 or so times.

NOTE: AFAIR clang doesn't support that option anyway, so it would not be
available at stage 1 where clang is the bootstrap compiler.

However, the existing compiler build process points explicitly to the
just-built libstdc++ convenience lib IIRC (the built tools are statically
linked with the lib). So that info ought to be available to the Ada build (I'm
pretty sure all the -B etc. is passed through).
