What about this?
It results in the following failures without libstdc++-static:
UNSUPPORTED: debug/tst-chk4
UNSUPPORTED: debug/tst-chk5
UNSUPPORTED: debug/tst-chk6
UNSUPPORTED: debug/tst-lfschk4
UNSUPPORTED: debug/tst-lfschk5
UNSUPPORTED: debug/tst-lfschk6
UNSUPPORTED: dlfcn/bug-atexit3
UNSUPPORTED: nptl/tst-cancel24
UNSUPPORTED: nptl/tst-cancel24-static
UNSUPPORTED: nptl/tst-once5
UNSUPPORTED: nptl/tst-thread_local1

not support static linking.
* configure: Regenerate.
