The "right" way to do it on older systems is to set "CPLUSPLUSLIB=true"
in the Makefile (assuming that <bsd.lib.mk> is being used). If
you're not using <bsd.lib.mk> then yes, it's necessary to manually
link in c++rt0.o for C++ shared libraries.
As you mentioned, on recent -current systems, "gcc -shared" does the
right thing, and CPLUSPLUSLIB is not needed. I'm going to bring
that same functionality into the -2.2 branch soon.
