Yes. It means that you always have to pull in C++ which is not fully compatible
with C. In every C application.
It also means that static linking will be broken: You suddenly have to specify
-lstdc++ to link a C program, as dependencies are only resolved for shared
libraries.
That whole file is ugly (like the rest of this ancient glibc), so I don't see
why we should really bother? We should instead focus on importing a newer and
more sane libc for gcc4.
