You are apparently considering that the OS libstdc++ is super recent, which not the case on most todays production machines (CentOS7, ubuntu18, ...).
You just have to embed/package the libstdc++ from gcc that you have built with.

Please see requirements here: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/linux#_remote-host-container-wsl-linux-prerequisites

The prerequisite listed on that page is libstdc++ >= 3.4.18. However in practice it throws errors if 3.4.20 is not available. So there's a mismatch between intended requirements and actual requirements.

[WilliamTambellini]

You are right @gbodeen
The best long term solution is to embed the libstdcpp.so that has been used at build time.
