I agree that MacPorts base only adds -stdlib=${configure.cxx_stdlib} to
configure.cxxflags, not configure.ldflags, but that's not necessarily wrong, is
it? If the build system just wants to link already-compiled objects, it doesn't
need compiler flags. If the build system wants to compile and link at the same
time, it's the build system's responsibility to add both the compiler flags
(CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS) and the linker flags (LDFLAGS) to the compile/link command.
