-> static stdc++, stripped
te@gauss: ls -l pdftosrc pdftex pdfetex
-rwxr-xr-x    1 te       te        1114472 Feb  6 16:13 pdfetex
-rwxr-xr-x    1 te       te        1078984 Feb  6 16:13 pdftex
-rwxr-xr-x    1 te       te         305112 Feb  6 16:13 pdftosrc

-> dynamic stdc++, stripped
te@gauss: ls -l pdftosrc pdftex pdfetex
-rwxr-xr-x    1 te       te        1088260 Feb  6 16:14 pdfetex
-rwxr-xr-x    1 te       te        1052772 Feb  6 16:14 pdftex
-rwxr-xr-x    1 te       te         278608 Feb  6 16:14 pdftosrc

The sums are 2498568 resp. 2419640, a total increase of 3.2% :-) So,
let's forget about the binaries with the shared stdc++ lib.
