Yeah, that confirms the fundamental mental model I was using
concerning static libraries.

Obviously for case 2 (static C++ library dynamically linked to
libstdc++) the static library (archive) will not contain code from
libstdc++.  But what happens for case 3 when the static C++ library is
statically linked to libstdc++?  Does the static library in this case
contain all the needed code from libstdc++?  If so, this make an
important distinction between case 2 and case 3, but otherwise they
would be the same.
