No, that is very explicitly NOT how modules are expected to be used or
deployed. GCC provides the std.cc file and you are expected to produce a
CMI for your own needs.

Otherwise there would be a ton of CMIs that need to be installed for every
-std and other options that affect it, and the compiler would need to know
where to find them based on the command-line options.
