I asked on libstdc++@gcc.gnu.org:
see http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/libstdc++/2002-11/msg00116.html

I don't know of any backport. The 3.2.1 release will be the first to
bootstrap without patches on glibc-2.3 systems.
so either port it (who?) or leave the last version (or build it on a
testing system (build the lib only) and move it to unstable).
