Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• There are two issues with linking with libstdc++.so:
  a) it is not part of default Linux installation.  if it is
  linked, JVM may not load on customer machines;
  b) extra risk of version compatibility (this happened with IBM
  Streams production team);
  

Problem conclusion

• We need to statically link to libstdc++.
  .
  This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases:
     8    SR3       (8.0.3.0)
  .
