libstdc++ "stage 3" is not rebuilt for the same reason as "stage 2"

Browse Source 
I'm pretty sure "stage 2" libstdc++ (installed in ch6) is already fully
featured.  The reason to rebuild the stage 3 libstdc++ (or entire
stage 3 gcc) is same as the reason to rebuild every packages in multiple
chapters: to "settle down" it.

Merge the content of
https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html#rebuild-ch8 into the book
as an explanation.

<para>In &ch-final; (or <quote>stage 3</quote>), all packages needed for
the LFS system are built. Even if a package is already installed into
the LFS system in a previous chapter, we still rebuild the package
unless we are completely sure it's unnecessary. The main reason for
rebuilding these packages is to settle them down: if we reinstall a LFS
package on a complete LFS system, the installed content of the package
should be same as the content of the same package installed in
&ch-final;. The temporary packages installed in &ch-tmp-cross; or
&ch-tmp-chroot; cannot satisify this expectation because some of them
are built without optional dependencies installed, and autoconf cannot
perform some feature checks in &ch-tmp-cross; because of cross
compilation, causing the temporary packages to lack optional features
or use suboptimal code routines. Additionally, a minor reason for
rebuilding the packages is allowing to run the testsuite.</para>
