I have been able to link against libstdc++ by using -lstdc++ (rather
than -dllib).  This is on an Ubuntu machine with the standard
development packages installed.  Also, I use ocamlmklib rather than
directly running ocamlc to build my cma file; I don't expect that this
makes a difference for this particular problem, but is something worth
considering (and IMO easier).
