It is indeed smaller (100kB text and 5kB data libcxxrt.so, vs 450kB
text and 42kB data for libc++abi.so), though that's not much of a
concern to me to be honest.

The bigger win IMO is that I can build libcxxrt with GCC 4.2, which
means I can just import it into base to replace libsupc++.  (By
comparison, libc++abi doesn't like libstdc++'s headers, GCC 4.2.1
can't handle libc++'s headers, and we don't have Clang in base, so I
was needing to build libc++abi out of our ports tree, which means
libstdc++ in base can't link against it.)
