No.

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/5.1.1/libstdc++.a is just a symlink.
You need to install libstdc++-static package if you want to link statically
against -lstdc++ (similarly to pretty much any other library package in Fedora).

If you install libstdc++-static.x86_64, you'll be able to link against 64-bit
libstdc++.a, if you install libstdc++-static.i686, you'll be able to link
against 32-bit libstdc++.a (with -m32), if you install both, then against
both.
As always, static linking is not recommended (which is why you need the
extra *-static packages in Fedora).
