Thank your for your reply to my bug report.

The 'libstdc++.a' instead of 'libstdc++.so' is a gcc problem which will 
be fixed in a newly uploaded version today, if I understand the 
gcc changelog correctly.

The db3 package will not FTBFS any longer if the compiler problem is fixed. 
However, the '-lstdc++' still does not seem to be necessary.
