It is not possible (as you have discovered). Versions of libstdc++ are
tightly tied to compiler versions. You will *have* to modify your code
to compile under gcc-3.3, probably by not using the features of gcc-4x
your project now uses -- you will have to hack around the missing
features.

Either that or talk to the 3rd party vendor and try to get them to 
re-build their libraries using gcc-4x & libstdc++6.

Another possiblity is to build a gcc-3.3/libstdc++5 wrapper application
that is run as a separate process from your main gcc-4x project and pass
data back and forth with sockets or pipes.
