When you are building a compiler to bootstrap libc, with a view to 
building a later full toolchain using that libc, the bootstrap compiler 
should be C-only (and have most of the other runtime libraries apart from 
libgcc disabled), so you only build libstdc++ after you have a libc.

The only exception would be if your libc contains C++ code and depends on 
libstdc++ - I think this has been mentioned as an issue for Cygwin.
