This also breaks Eclipse *as packaged by Ubuntu*, since the profiling
tools require a native binary that gets linked against libstdc++5.
So it's not even sufficient to avoid non-Ubuntu applications to be safe
from the repercussions of this decision. Moreover, I suspect a lot of
people are affected by this and don't know it, as it took some
investigation to find this as the root cause; at the outset, all I could
tell was that the profiler was broken.
(The profiling tools are an add-on, but they're an official part of the
Eclipse project and can be installed entirely from the GUI, as supported
by Ubuntu's Eclipse packaging, so it's not unreasonable to expect this
to work.)
