Of older libstdc++ libraries, yes. It may be compatible with what you
need. Alternatively, you could try to recompile comptat-libstdc++ with a
slightly newer library version to get you the needed libraries.

Most of us, however, take such non-standard libraries, put them in a
non-standard location (such as /usr/local/stupid-vendor/lib), and put a
shell script wrapper in front of their command line tools to
automatically run "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/stupid-vendor/lib"
before executing the normal binary with all the arguments it usually gets.

This approach is also used by ID games when publishing Quake variants,
which are library sensitive.
