We've already done that in 13.1.1. So, before 13.2 is released, we can add
further symbols to the GLIBCXX_3.4.32 symbol version.
Though, I don't see a problem bumping libstdc++ to libstdc++.so.6.0.33
on the trunk now and put __cxa_call_terminate to GLIBCXX_3.4.33.
The ABI on the trunk is certainly not stable at this point.
If we come up with a need to introduce another symbol to 13.2, we can just
add it to GLIBCXX_3.4.32 on the trunk and then backport that change to the
branch. If nothing in 13 will use the new symbol, seems like a waste to add
it to libstdc++.so.6.0.32.
