I meant GCC shared library binaries. The actual executables under bin/
do not use RUNPATH with GCC default build behaviour.
I think FreeBSD GCC compiler from ports was patched to automatically
insert RUNPATH into all binaries:
$ cat test.c
int main(void){}
$ /usr/local/gnat13/bin/gcc test.c
$ objdump -x a.out | grep RUNPATH
RUNPATH /usr/local/gnat13/lib
So when I use it as a bootstrap Ada compiler, my new compiler has
"RUNPATH /usr/local/gnat13/lib" sprinkled all over its binaries. I can
fix this by building my own compiler from sources multiple times,
however it is FreeBSD specific issue and not related to my original
libstdc++ RUNPATH question.

No I haven't seen any failures yet. If GCC is using libstdc++
statically, then I guess this is not an issue. I just want to make sure
GCC compiler itself does not have any broken/fragile shared library
dependencies.
Thanks.
