Strange, it works here.

Sounds like a compiler bug. What architecture / toolchain is this?

The linaro toolchain (and systemd) are very recent additions, so there
might indeed be some issues with it. I had a quick look, and our
external toolchain expects these libraries to reside inside the sysroot
(which on linaro is detected as arm-linux-gnueabi/libc), and libstdc++
is in the lib dir instead.

I'll have a closer look to see how we can fix it.
