I really dont get the point of saying that libstdc++ differences gives a loss 
of backward compatibility. Isnt that what symbol versioning is for? 
I've never had problems with linking to two different versions of libstdc++ 
through shared libraries. It's inefficient but it works!

Keeping the ABI stable would for KDE mean that old plugins and shared 
libraries could still be used, they would just load an additional libstdc++.
