+ Currently, this subset includes all of the iterator APIs (including the
+ ranges APIs) that do not involve streams, the entire C++ algorithms
+ library, excluding parallel algorithms, and a large part of the
+ utilities library. This is on top of the headers included in the lists
+ above.

+ If you're using a libstdc++ configured for hosted environments, and
+ would like to not involve the libraries libstdc++ would depend on in
+ your programs, you will need to use <command>gcc</command> to link your
+ application with only <filename class="libraryfile">libsupc++.a</filename>,
+ like so:
</para>
<para>
- <command>gcc foo.cc -lsupc++</command>
+ <command>gcc -ffreestanding foo.cc -lsupc++</command>
</para>
<para>
- No attempt is made to verify that only the minimal subset
- identified above is actually used at compile time. Violations
- are diagnosed as undefined symbols at link time.
+ If you configured libstdc++ with
+ <code>--disable-hosted-libstdcxx</code>, however, you can use the
+ normal <command>g++</command> command to link, as this configuration
+ provides a (nearly) empty <filename class="libraryfile">libstdc++.a</filename>.
