Users reported issues caused by missing the right libstdc++-version-dev.
A new function 'check_c_toolchain' added in sanity.bbclass to test linking libstdc++
Fixes [YOCTO #15712]

This is looking really good thanks!

The one thing left which probably needs tweaking is testing this on
every build. I think that is a bit too much overhead and we should do
this in check_sanity_version_change().

The reason being that once builds are working on a given system we
probably don't need to check again. If people do run into issues, they
will probably test a clean builddir and at that point the error would
also show up.

If you could send a v4 with that small tweak, I think it looks good to
merge, thanks.

Cheers,

Richard
