Doesn't appear to be the case with libstdc++
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstd...o/license.html
the above url seems to indicate that you can statically link libstdc++
without requiring to release your source.
It also highlights that libstdc++ v3 does not use the LGPL, it is the
GPL with a runtime exception.
with C libs you could supply the object files to allow relinking ...
