Notice that the link above is THE install manual of THE libc for avr. Also avr
has (rudimentary) C++ support, but no libstdc++ support. Its libc also has no
threading support etc. This is a microcontroller environment with as little as
512 bytes of total RAM (not Kbytes but bytes! including space for the stack).
Thus most of the gcc features which require libc support simply do not apply.

Also see:
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#avr
And notice how it says: "Use `configure --target=avr --enable-languages="c"' to
configure GCC." and how it refers too http://www.nongnu.org/avr/ for further
information, which almost directly links to:
http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/user-manual/install_tools.html

So I'm pretty sure (but not 100%) that this is correct. This is also how for
example cdk4avr, which I've been using under Linux until now, does it.
