cc/gcc: add option to compile against static libstdc++, for gcc-4.4 and newer

Idea and know-how taken from CodeSourcery build script.

Normal build:
$ ldd arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi-gcc
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb77f3000)
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb76e8000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb75a1000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0xb757a000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb77f4000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb755c000)

CC_STATIC_LIBSTDCXX=y:
$ ldd arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi-gcc
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb7843000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb76e6000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7844000)

I made CC_STATIC_LIBSTDCXX default=y since I think
it is always desirable.

     5  I am working on a powerpc 860 toolchain, but I am having problems  
     6  convincing glibc to not emit code that uses the dcbz instruction (CPU15  
     7  dcbX bug). The source of the problem is sysdeps/powerpc/power3/memset.S
