As I recall, `-stdlib` selects the high-level stdlib and not the low-level one, and those are related in code but not necessarily at runtime; for example, you can (or at least could, historically) use libstdc++ on macOS, but the underlying low-level stdlib is going to be libc++abi, not libsupc++.  And the low-level runtime is the one that actually provides global `operator new` functions.  Is there a way to bridge that gap?

Hmm, that's really a tough nut. We have high-level standard libraries like `libc++` and `libstdc++`, and low-level runtimes like `libc++abi`, `libsupc++` and libcxxrt <https://github.com/libcxxrt/libcxxrt>. There could be a lot of situations and we haven't think about MSVC yet.
I don't know if adding an option `-cxxabilib=libsupc++-v4.8` or something like this would make sense, but I think we should make another revision to do it. I will appy @ldionne 's solution first.
