I know that there are some small ABI changes between libstdc++ 3.1 and 3.2. This got mentioned in discussion of a PR that I filed concerning the library under hpux. Under hpux, all applications that were linked against the 3.0 library needed to be relinked when the 3.0.1 library was installed :-( I still haven't figured out why libstdc++ needs to be installed prior to running the testsuite.
