IIRC the version of libstdc++ is tied to the GCC version so you'll need that too. It is possible to install multiple versions of gcc side by side ( e.g. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gcc46/ ) But I would like to suggest two alternatives. * Have you tried using clang instead (available in "extra")? * You could also compile the binaries on a different machine (be careful to compile for the right architecture) and copy them to your i686 machine
