It may work to delete the gcc directory from your sources, and then
compile.  Naturally you will need an appropriate version of gcc on
your PATH.  I haven't tried this for several years, but it did work in
the past.

Use --disable-shared when you run configure.

At link time gcc should normally pick up the libstdc++ with which it
was installed.

At run time it depends upon whether you pass a -R option, and/or set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
