Since it appears to be a libstdc++ issue, you could use the dynamic linker 
to load a patched version of the library (ie using LD_LIBRARY_PATH) 
before running your application. You'd just have to patch it yourself.. ;-)

Suppose you have:
   /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0
   $HOME/lib/libstdc++.so.5.1
   $HOME/bin/myapp

Then:
   $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH $HOME/bin/myapp

Should load the newer version.

Cheers,
