The newer version of gcc's libstdc++ that you're installing has ABI
differences to the older version. This legacy ABI is maintained in
libstdc++-v3.

So either you mask the new version of gcc, or put up with having the new
gcc and libstdc++. Or, you manually try to weed out all the apps that
use the old libstdc++. Good luck with that!
