This was an oddity introduced by theraven@ in r255321, where he introduced MK_GNUCXX, but I have no idea why he conflated the two.  Before this commit, I had a local patch which simply added an option disabling or enabling libstdc++ and libsupc++ (and nothing else).  I should have committed that first... :)

In any case, it would be nice to still have the option to enable building libstdc++, whatever the used compiler is.
