[PATCH] G++ static linking on AIX (PR target/26397)

["David Edelsohn" <dje.gcc@gmail.com>]

AIX permits static linking against a shared library (without the benefits
of granularity of a normal archive of object files).  When building
libstdc++, some functions are omitted from the shared object that
are included in the static archive.  When linking against shared
libraries, these functions normally are provided by libgcc_s.so.
The combination of -static-libgcc and the libstdc++ shared
library encounter problems on AIX because neither provides
the missing symbols.

On AIX one needs to add libsupc++ when linking statically to
provide the additional symbols for exception handling -- specifically
to rethrow exceptions across library boundaries.

This patch adds a LIBSTDCXX_STATIC macro to cp/g++spec.c
that defaults to the normal "-lstdc++" but is overridden on AIX.
The new macro is used when G++ is invoked with -static or
-static-libgcc.

Okay?

Thanks, David
