The g++ 2.95.x and 3.2.x libstdc++ librares are not binary compatible.
You must get a shared binary libstdc++ built from gcc 2.95.3, and
install it somewhere where your dynamci linker will find it.
One way to do this would be to downloaded and build gcc 2.95.3 from
source, and put its lib directory in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Make sure you build 2.95.3 with a different prefix than 3.2 uses.
