In crossdev, we have:
```
[...]
                # Bare metal targets
                *-newlib|*-elf|*-eabi|*-rtems*)
                        LPKG="newlib"
                        KPKG="[none]"
                        STAGE_DEFAULT=${STAGE_LIBC}
[...]
                        ;;     
```

which means we only build a C compiler (-s3) with 'crossdev arm-none-eabi'. This ended up confusing a user in #gentoo.

I'd say it's probably common for users to not want a freestanding C++ compiler, but I'm not sure if we should warn on it or what.
