That would be creating a shared library, but the poster wants
to create an a.out binary.  What the poster needs to do is build
g++ so that libstdc++ is a dynamic library (.so) and not just an 
archive (.a).  This should keep all the ISO C++ iostreams stuff 
(which tends to get large from locale stuff dependencies) from
being pulled into the a.out.
