Do we compile any C sources in libc++? Why do we care what flags the C compiler supports for libc++ and libc++abi? (I understand why it matters for libunwind where we do have C sources).

The reason I'm asking is that there are some simplifications we can make if we assume that all supported compilers accept `-nostdlib++`, and this patch makes it impossible to make that assumption.
