I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but you could try to link it against
the (dynamic) libstdc++ library instead. Static libsupc++ is just a
subset of libstdc++, containing only the C++ runtime without the
standard C++ library.

If it's firebird you are talking about, then patching
builds/posix/make.defaults should be enough to get rid of the static lib
dep:
-STATIC_CXXSUPPORT_LIB = -lsupc++ -lgcc_eh
+STATIC_CXXSUPPORT_LIB = -lstdc++

However, if you choose to change it like that please do some runtime
tests to make sure it doesn't break anything.
