Only very few (if any) games include their own libstdc++, so the main issue is
one included with Steam's Ubuntu 12.04 snapshot.  Does that get (ever) updated?

With people having more games, editing launch options for every one of them 
would be really tedious.

Good to know.  In general, it would get lost if there's any suid binary or
something sets LD_PRELOAD, but those would be really ugly things to do in
release versions.
