Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported rr invocation on Ubuntu 14.04 using the supplied uname and error output, then inspect how rr depends on libstdc++.so.6. Done means rr starts successfully on that environment without the GLIBCXX_3.4.21 error, using the issue's console output as the compatibility baseline.
