Well this depends on what you think C++ is.  :)  Without libstdc++, all
you're doing is using a C++ compiler to write C code.  After all, libstdc++
is "Standard C++ Library".  If the OP wants to learn C, then he can do that
with a C++ compiler and C's standard library (libc), but if he wants to
learn C++ he has to use C++'s standard library too.  Much of C++'s power
comes in its Standard Template Library, and its redesigned stream io, among
many other things, and those aren't built into the compiler!  :)
