For libgcc there isn't any more source code because the package is only exchanging some functionality in the libgcc provided by the used compiler, and that only on ARM. libsupc++ is part of libstdc++-v3, so the source code is taken from there. libstdc++-v3 has all the source code related to libstdc++ which is also used by e.g. libstdc++-headers. This is separated for build dependency as well as for runtime dependency reasons. For example there are two libc versions, one with L4-knowledge/multi-threading and one without. While you probably want to have pthread and friends in your application, multi-threading functionality (or even L4 functionality) functionality isn't available in boot-up code.
