With this patch your will see the following comment in make menuconfig

    "nodejs needs a toolchain w/ C++, dynamic library, NPTL, gcc >= 4.9, wchar"

This will change nothing for your host and selected crosss-compile toolchain...

It is not about the cross-compile toolchain, your failure while compiling host-nodejs
(using your host GCC /usr/bin/gcc to compile exectuables for your host/ubuntu),
to fix this you need to update your host gcc...
