For 7 updates? Probably not.

See http://markmail.org/message/yqexkr4ty7s4gelz for details. As Kelly
said then "It is quite possible that we don't need to static link anything 
anymore, but that would need to be verified."

Not worth the bother from my POV, as it's 

a) not a bug - it's the intended behavior, 
b) those who desire not to statically link with libsdtc++ can do so easily, 
c) it would have to be done and verified on 8 first, and
d) 8 is getting a new build system anyway

So, in short, there is not much of a point in changing it here now.
