1. I know, what i meant, is that: these symbols seems only called by stdc++
themselves, i havnt seen any program invoke these symbols directly, they
use std::locale() or something else. At least in my system, schroot does
not need to recompile, neither chromium, they worked well just after i
patched the toolchain. It's worth to checking if these symbols is used by
other binaries out of stdc++, if just 1 or 2, or even no, it's not a big
deal to apply this patch.

But now i change my mind, as you said, this not a perfect solution, indeed
there's a risk of breaking binaries. If it is on the way of upstreaming the
patch, i wont do like this.

2. let me try it. :)
