You cannot use --honor-std without rebuilding gcc with this option.

About terminate(): it's in libgcc.a and it is built without --honor-std.
To get std::terminate(void) instead libcc.a should be built with
--honor-std. More likely it will be done when --honor-std will be default
in soome future version of gcc (of course You are free to rebuild gcc as
You like...)
