New description:

 We have reports from Linux Mint 17 and Ubuntu 14 users that Tor Browser is
 not starting anymore, probably due to #25485. The error they get is:
 {{{
 ./firefox.real: relocation error: ./firefox.real: symbol
 _ZTTNSt7__cxx1119basic_ostringstreamIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEE, version
 GLIBCXX_3.4.21 not defined in file libstdc++.so.6 with link time reference
 }}}
 There is a workaround posted
 (https://blog.torproject.org/comment/276770#comment-276770)
 {{{
 1 open file /Browser/firefox
 2 comment line 10,12( if and fi) to use custom libstdc++
 #if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$basedir/TorBrowser/Tor/libstdc++/"
 #fi
 }}}
 So, it seems our `abicheck` hack is not working as expected? I wonder what
 is going on here, though, as I have no issues updating from 7.5.6 to 8.0
 on an Ubuntu 14.04.
