hard to help for your specific problem in such a way, in the abstract...

Anyway, in general, I can tell you something for sure: that "C++" block
belongs to GLIBCXX_3.4, thus during the normal development work you are
**never** adding exports to it. Only, from time to time, you have to
tweak it in order to *avoid* the existing patterns to match
inadvertently the names of new symbols, which of course are exported as
GLIBCXX_3.4.11. I hope that helps...

Paolo.
