Automated rollback of commit 2aeaeba66857c561dd6d63c79a213f1cabc3650d.

*** Reason for rollback ***

Breaks C++ on gcc 4.8.4 (specifically, TensorFlow: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/4474)

Fixes #4474

*** Original change description ***

When linking mostly-static Linux binaries, link libstdc++.a explicitly.

This allows libstdc++ to be statically linked, which is normally only
possible when invoking GCC as `g++` with the `-static-libstdc++` flag.

Fixes https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/2840

See https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/issues/415 for additional
background and context.

cc @htuch (for Envoy) and @calpeyser @hlopko (who I talked to earlier about this)...
