With newer ubuntu releases the static linking can be safely dropped (at least

If that one was a workaround for older gcc version I think this is time to drop
it.
(even because it was working for really older gcc versions, stopped working for
the middle gcc version and now works again)
IIRC Linking libstdc++ statically is a solution for Linus systems that don't have a libstdc++(.so) at all. In the old days libstdc++ was only
installed with e.g. g++, which isn't installed by default. This might have changed with modern distros, but there are still some old installations around.
If statically linking libstdc++ doesn't work on some systems for some reason, these systems should be checked for in configure and may link libstdc++
dynamically, but I don't think static linking should be dropped altogether.
Best,
Bernd
