It's certainly possible to create builds of GCC with some features
missing (IIRC it's possible that libstdc++ may not be able to do some
things in absence of iconv, for instance, but don't quote me on that).

It's a fairly reasonable and frequent compromise to leave some features
as non-operational without extra libs present.
