Exact, it is easier. So I will do this separate first.

They leave out all that classes, which are really GPL'd. To illustrate
it,
I include here header names, so you can get a guess, what is included in
libg++
and not in libstdc++

AllocRing.h Binomial.h BitSet.h BitString.h Complex.h CursesW.h
Erlang.h Fix.h Fix16.h Fix24.h Geom.h GetOpt.h

and so on ...
