There isn't (and shouldn't be) any real source-level dependency on
libstdc++ when LLVM is turned off.  However, the eval loop is now
compiled as C++, and that may be adding some hidden dependency
(exception handling code?).  The final binary is linked with $(CXX),
which adds an implicit -lstdc++, I think.  Someone just has to go and
track this down.
