g++ is not a wrapper! we're not in the days of cfront anymore! libstdc++
implements the C++ standard library (e.g. when you do cin << or cout >>
you are using libstdc++). I think STL is also partially implemented here.
however the basic c++ functionality (e.g. classes, overloading) is handled
by the g++ compiler backend itself.
you do not need libstdc++ to compile C++ programs. however many C++
programs WILL require libstdc++ (the ones that use the C++ library
features). e.g. MySQL requires C++ but does not use libstdc++.
