Consider the situation when a C++ project is built and shipped within a Centos 7 virtual machine or container. Default gcc for Centos 7 is 4.8. In order to allow developers to use modern C++, the more recent version of gcc (for example, 6.3) is installed into Centos 7 which runs as a CI server. This provides -std=c++14 support.
[builder@f7279ae9f33f build (master %)]$ /usr/bin/c++ -v 2>&1 | grep version
gcc version 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-28) (GCC)
[builder@f7279ae9f33f build (master %)]$ /opt/rh/devtoolset-6/root/usr/bin/c++ -v 2>&1 | grep version

export CXX=/opt/rh/devtoolset-6/root/usr/bin/c++
make all -j4
...
This is short example of compilation and linkage command:

Anyway, the resulting artifacts appear to be linked with system default version of libstdc++:
[builder@f7279ae9f33f build (master %)]$ ldd libucsdos.so | grep libstdc++.so.6
libstdc++.so.6 => /lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f2a4a054000)
It's easy to find out that /lib64/libstdc++.so.6 version is 4.8.5:
[builder@f7279ae9f33f build (master %)]$ yum whatprovides "/lib64/libstdc++.so.6"
libstdc++-4.8.5-28.el7_5.1.x86_64 : GNU Standard C++ Library
Repo : @Updates
Matched from:
Filename : /lib64/libstdc++.so.6
Is this build environment configuration valid?
Anyway, the resulting artifacts appear to be linked with system default version of libstdc++:
Yes. The devtoolset-6-gcc-c++ package provides a custom version of GCC that uses a special linker script instead of a dynamic library for libstdc++.so. That means the binaries it produces do not depend on the newer libstdc++.so.6 and can be run on other CentOS machines that don't have devtoolset installed (i.e. they only have the older libstdc++ library from GCC 4.8).
Is this build environment configuration valid?
Yes. What you're seeing is completely normal, and how it's supposed to work.
The pieces of the newer C++ runtime from GCC 6.4.0 get statically linked into your binary, and at runtime it only depends on the old libstdc++.so which every CentOS system has installed.
That's the whole point of the devtoolset version of GCC.
