apart from xetex and xdvipdfmx, which need fontconfig system library and
thus may link via indirect dependencies to some other libraries, no
other binary in texlive build should link to a system libstdc++, libz.
if it does, it is a bug.

this affects only mf (but not mf-nowin), pdfopen, pdfclose and xdvi.
maybe you can just have "mf" be a copy of "mf-nowin", and skip pdfopen,
pdfclose and xdvi. or build them with xorg.

Best,
