Yes, it's true.  You can't mix libraries from different versions of
the compiler because the ABI changed.  Make sure you are using the
right library.  This doesn't sounds like that problem.

Another thought.  Compile a simple hello world C++ program with the
new compiler and try to run the executable.  If you get the same
error, then it's a problem with dynamic loading independent of what
python wants.

Presumably, Jeff knows where the fresh library file (libstdc++.so.5)
was installed and can set LD_LIBRARY_PATH accordingly.
