if it was nostdlibc++, I'd agree.  lib++ is not something that brings
C++ to (my) mind.

That's what the testcase requires, yes.  IIRC there's another that would
benefit from the ability to link with libsupc++, but not with libstdc++.

Yeah, I suppose that makes sense, it's beneficial for users to avoid the
cognitive overload of dealing with equivalent options with different
spellings.  I'll swallow my dislike for the spelling and change the
patch to use -nostdlib++.
