I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
${hosttype}bin is no longer officially supported though it continues
to work for the older platforms. That's why ${hosttype}bin points at
the sun4m_53 version of g++.
The sun4m_53 version is quite old, and includes libg++, which supports
the older version of standard C++ include files.
libg++ is deprecated, and has been replaced with libstdc++, which
implements the ANSI C++ spec, and has different include files and
class names. The newer compiler (for sun4x_56) works with the newer
libstdc++.
