Hm. I've never seen this, and I build C++ code all the time ... if you
were missing a library then you'd get undefined references, not a crash,
like this:

  $ cat foo.cpp 
  #include <iostream>
  int main() {
     cout << "hello, world!\n";
  }
  $ gcc foo.cpp
  /tmp/cc2su6Vb.o: In function `main':
  /tmp/cc2su6Vb.o(.text+0xf): undefined reference to `cout'
  /tmp/cc2su6Vb.o(.text+0x14): undefined reference to `ostream::operator<<(char const *)'
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
  $ g++ foo.cpp
  $ ./a.out 
  hello, world!
  $ 

I'd file a bug with a test case.
