The .cc file is a C++ source file.

I believe this is the old harfbuzz, and while it uses C++ language
features (and hence automake compiles and links it with CXX),
libpangoft2-1.0 (the library in which the embedded harfbuzz is used)
shows a runtime dep on libgcc1 but not libstdc++6.
That being said, normally -lstdc++ would work since
$sys_lib_search_path_spec normally includes gcc's libdir. I'm guessing
the problem here is that you're encountering this within gcc itself,
which uses a customized libtool. You'll need to check the in-tree
libtool in question and if the path to the in-tree libstdc++.la is not
in $sys_lib_search_path_spec, then see that it is added. (Now that I
think about it, nothing else in gcc links against the target libstdc++.)
