doesn't work for me:

$ g++ -fPIC -shared -static hello.cc -o libhello.so /usr/lib/libstdc++.a
$ ldd ./libhello.so
        libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x4001f000)
		(etc, etc)

I think I noticed sometime ago that libstdc++.a is compiled without
-fPIC. So even if I convince the g++ frontend to use libstdc++.a, it
could fail at runtime if my target is a shared library.
