An example improvement (which I'm working on) is to give better stack traces when a process is terminated by an uncaught exception in a function run by std::thread. If that's improved in the library, all existing code using std::thread would get better stack traces just by linking to a newer libstdc++.so, rather than having to recompile with a newer GCC.
