compiling with local copy of gcc, incompatible libstdc++ - c++

Question

I have a very similar issue to the one presented in how to dynamically link to local copy of libc.so.6, libstdc++.so.6 on system with old version of gcc and I followed the answer provided there. To summarize, the issue is that I have code written using C++11 and the cluster sysadmin won't upgrade the gcc compiler to a version which supports C++11. I did a manual install of gcc4.9 in my home directory (using --prefix=$HOME). I compile my code with the following flags:
-I/home/stroberg/include -L/home/stroberg/lib -lc -lstdc++ -llapack -lblas -O3 -std=C++11
I also set
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/stroberg/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
The compilation goes fine until it gets to the linking stage, where I get the following errors:
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /home/stroberg/lib/libstdc++.so when searching for -lstdc++
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /home/stroberg/lib/libstdc++.a when searching for -lstdc++
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /home/stroberg/lib/libstdc++.so when searching for -lstdc++
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /home/stroberg/lib/libstdc++.a when searching for -lstdc++
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /home/stroberg/lib/libgcc_s.so when searching for -lgcc_s
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /home/stroberg/lib/libgcc_s.so when searching for -lgcc_s
Any ideas what could be causing the problem? I'm also using the armadillo package (also a local version) is that makes any difference.
Thanks.

I got it working, so I figured I should post what I did. Compiling with
-I$(HOME)/include -L$(HOME)/lib -lblas -llapack -lgsl -lglsblas -O3 -std=c++11
seemed to do the trick. Wish I knew exactly what fixed the problem, but I hope this helps.
