I use debug/libstdc++.so via LD_LIBRARY_PATH when I want to run in gdb and step-through code in the library. i.e. I link as normal, but switch to using the debug lib at run-time. Obviously if using static linking that doesn't work so you'd have to decide to use that lib at link-time. I mentioned it here because it's a common (and supported) way to get a libstdc++ built with -O0 while keeping the primary libs built with the usual flags (-O2 etc.)
