I don't know if it's worth it. I mean even if we forced on
--without-system-libs for --enable-debug we would still probably need to
run around adding the moral equivalent of EXTRA_CFLAGS +=
-D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG to all the other external c++ modules we have to be
sure we don't mix stl versions.

I don't think we currently link against any unix system-installed c++
libraries which *don't* have internal equivalents, but if we did we'd be
back to square one again I guess.

Yeah, I guess we end up with a link-time error instead of a weird
run-time error, which is an improvement I suppose, but not a very useful
one.
