In #853, we introduced the ability to bundle the libstdc++ library that is actually loaded by Julia with a library/app bundle. Before, it was hardcoded to use always the Julia-provided libstdc++ library, which did not work on Linux platforms that had a local system-provided libstdc++ newer than the Julia-provided one.
However, the solution implemented in #853 caused PackageCompiler.jl to not work anymore for Windows users without administrator privileges. This PR remedies this by making the dynamic libstdc++ selection only run on Linux, just like it is done in Julia itself.
Resolves #866.
