   What programs are these?  How would they be built using a stock GCC 
   (i.e. not one built from the NetBSD tree, but one built with 
   configure/gmake)?
   
   (NetBSD's GCC should behave the same way!)


the one that comes to mind is groff.  why would we want to have
it linked against libstdc++ when it's not required?
