I already answered that one. > Having *all* library dependencies compiled with eg++ would ensure > linking to the right runtime version We can't do that because one of those dependencies is mesa which in its current location in xenocara can only be built with a compiler from base and GPLv3 is not a suitable license there. Two solutions seem appropriate: move mesa libs to ports (but this is not desirable as it is coupled to drm kernel code so it would increase the risk of breakage in snapshots after changes), or bring in libc++ and clang (which would have other advantages). Tweaking things by adding some library-specific mechanism to ld.so seems a nasty hack to me.
