A solution for broken hosts could be to first build our own g++ for  
the host platform and use that to build the host tools, wouldn't it?   
(Or, of course, rewriting such tool in shell, which is trivial.)

Anyway, back to the original question: was my patch OK regardless of  
adding any C++ tool to the toolchain?
