If you are on a Ubuntu-like distribution and don't mind exposing
`libstdc++.so` you can link, you could symlink it to `/usr/local/lib`,
e.g.
{{{
$ ln -vs $(gcc --print-file-name=libstdc++.so) /usr/local/lib/
`/usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so' -> `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gcc/x86_64
-linux-gnu/4.5.2/libstdc++.so'
}}}
This works for me currently.
It might also work (though I haven't tried whether GHC picks up on it) to
put the symlink in some user-owner directory, e.g. `${HOME}/lib` and point
`LD_LIBRARY_PATH` to it.
