I wrote a quick and dirty f77 program:

	INTEGER I
	I = 5
	STOP
	END

and compiled it.  It runs with the default libraries:

	f77 -c foo.f -o foo.o
	f77 foo.o -o foo
	./foo

but if I try and load it with -lstdc++:

	f77 foo.o -lstdc++ -o foo

I get:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

so, I agree with you.  Are you using anything from the stdc++ library? 
Can you remove it from your link command?
