The linking is actually already implicit, we never seem to link explicitly to
libstdc++ (I think it comes from the C++ rules, which is set to compiler
default).
It seems they just don’t want to support C++ with a deployment target prior to
10.9.
There seems to be 3 files using C++: fv_zone.cpp, FVPriorityQueue.mm, and
FVCacheFile.mm.
For now it seems that we can still use it all, by ignoring the annoying warning.
