Yes, or abandon it entirely. We surely don't need it in our base
system. Even for ports, I'd be surprised to find anything useful that
still relied on libg++. Any software that still uses libg++ is almost
certainly unmaintained, and uncompilable with modern C++ compilers.
(I.e., it does not conform to the C++ standard.) Libg++ is _ancient_.
It pre-dated templates even.
