NB: Each matlab version only supports a specific range of g++ versions.
Despite this, if you have a newer g++ and if you get errors related to missing
GLIBCXX_3.4.xx symbols, it is often possible to work around this requirement
by deleting the version of libstdc++ supplied by matlab in
-MATLAB_PATH/bin/glnx86 or MATLAB_PATH/bin/glnxa64 (at your own risk).
