Patch for C++ build on HP-UX and to implement -static-libstdc++

I recently discovered that after moving to the C++ bootstrap, the IA64
HP-UX GCC compiler would build and test OK, but if you tried to run the
installed compiler you would get an error about not being able to find
libgcc_s.so.0.
Joseph and Rainer pointed me at definining gcc_cv_ld_static_dynamic,
gcc_cv_ld_static_option, and gcc_cv_ld_dynamic_option in the
configure.ac script and that helped but resulted in a new problem.
In addition to allowing GCC to link with the static libgcc and libstdc++
these changes resulted in GCC trying to link in a static libunwind.
On IA64 HP-UX we use the system libunwind and it only comes in a shared
version. So my solution was to change gcc.c so that we only link in the
archive libunwind if we are not using the system libunwind. I did this by
having unwind_ipinfo.m4 set a new macro (USE_SYSTEM_LIBUNWIND) when
we are using the system libunwind and then checking for this in
gcc.c.
I am not sure if any other platforms use the system libunwind and if
this will cause them problem, IA64 HP-UX is the only platform to use the
system libunwind by default and I'd rather not invent a new config flag
to handle the static vs. dynamic libunwind issue unless we need to.
In addition to this problem on IA64 I found that the 32 bit PA compiler
was not building (due to a problem with not finding libgcc_s) and that
the 64 bit PA compiler was not handling -static-libstdc. This patch
fixes those problems as well with the change to configure.ac.
Hopefully, there is no issue with the configure.ac change, but I would
like some feedback on the unwind_ipinfo.m4 and gcc.c changes for
USE_SYSTEM_LIBUNWIND. I don't know if there is a better way to handle
this or not.
Tested on IA64 HP-UX and Linux and on 32 and 64 bit PA.
OK for checkin?
