would it be possible to check for -ffreestanding here and not add the library
forcibly in that case? i'm (once again ;) thinking of a kernel environment here
where using such a library may not be an option (no c++ allowed for one) and the
kernel would like to handle these functions in its own way (much like it handles
memcpy, etc already).
