Just compiled with current head of gdc and gcc and had no
problems. I did not test your configuration but used my own
instructions (those in the minlibd wiki).

The problem is that libstdc++ or the rule to make it is somehow
missing. I think some gcc configuration option disables
generating it. Maybe it is --disable-shared because I can not see
any other that would affect. --enable-languages=d should
automatically enable all c++ related but you may also test with
enable-languages=c++,d. Also I recommend to configure gcc first
with smallest possible set of options. (even if it does not make
a properly working compiler it will install anyway) Then adding
more options to see which causes this.
