The problem is more that, if you use an external toolchain and don't
build gcc-cross at all, you end up getting unresolved dependencies at
rootfs population time because no libgcc package at all has been
generated.

For libstdc++ I suspect it would be even worse because no dependencies
will even be generated if the package doesn't exist: in this case you
won't get a build error of any kind, you'll just find that no binaries
in your rootfs will run because libstdc++.so.6 is missing.
