Yes.

C++0x is only enabled via -std=gnu++0x, -std=c++0x. Users have to be
proactive (use these flags) before this support is even visible.

Linking 4.4.0 g++ code with an older libstdc++ is not, and has never
been, supported. If I'm reading you correctly... this is certainly not
something to be encouraged. Perhaps I've not understood you.
