Does not work on Arch linux with system /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.30

Problem

When I install MiniFB on julia 1.8 (taken the original binary build from the official julia website) I get the following error.

julia> mfb_open_ex("My Window", 400, 400, MiniFB.WF_RESIZABLE)
libGL error: MESA-LOADER: failed to open radeonsi: /usr/bin/../lib/julia/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.30' not found (required by /usr/lib/dri/radeonsi_dri.so) (search paths /usr/lib/dri, suffix _dri)
libGL error: failed to load driver: radeonsi

libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

Workaround

Replacing the symlink in /usr/lib/julia for libstdc++.so.6 which points to libstdc++.so.6.0.29 with the system library (libstdc++.so.6.0.30) I can get MiniFB to work.

cd /usr/lib/julia/
sudo rm libstdc++.so.6 
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.30 libstdc++.so.6

These might be relevant:

• libstdc++.so.6 is outdated and breaks RCall and others on recent Linux distros JuliaLang/julia#34276
• https://discourse.julialang.org/t/glibcxx-version-not-found/82209/

Those links above suggest that this is an issue with how julia is built and distributed, and there is really nothing we can do about that here. Switching the .so, or loading the OS version with LD_PRELOAD is the only workaround at the moment. Sorry!
