Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libstdc++6

LSB testing in preparation for LSB 3.2 has uncovered a binary
incompatibility in libstdc++6 for gutsy.

Basically, there was a period of time, between the end of June and the
beginning of October, when several members of the C++ typeinfo class
were swapped around in the vtable.  The libstdc++6 from gutsy appears to
have been built from source derived from upstream during that time.

More information can be found in the LSB bug:

http://bugs.linuxbase.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1890

I believe that code using typeinfo built on gutsy will have problems
running on other system, and apps built for other distros (including
previous versions of Ubuntu) or for the LSB will have problems running
on gutsy.  Thus, even though LSB compliance is not necessarily a goal
for gutsy, it might be in Ubuntu's best interests to fix it anyway.
