Both libc and libstdc++ allow for as-is linking into non-free software.

libc:

   Runtime objects and libraries, as provided by DJ in DJGPP, when
   linked into an application, may be distributed without sources ONLY
   if the recipient is given sufficient information to obtain a copy
   of djgpp themselves.  This primarily applies to crt0.o and libc.a.

libstdc++:

   As a special exception, you may use this file as part of a free
   software library without restriction.  Specifically, if other files
   instantiate templates or use macros or inline functions from this
   file, or you compile this file and link it with other files to
   produce an executable, this file does not by itself cause the
   resulting executable to be covered by the GNU General Public
   License.  This exception does not however invalidate any other
   reasons why the executable file might be covered by the GNU General
   Public License.
