This should have been CC'd to the libstdc++ list too.

Ideally, yes.  IIRC we require a minimum version of glibc and assume
that a sufficiently new glibc will always provide those functions.
That assumption predates eglibc and the optional modules.  Patches to
improve libstdc++'s configure are welcome.
