I dont quite understand. What do you have? A binary-only application 
or source code?

The C++ ABI is too unstable to remain compatible even between 
different releases of GNU libstdc++ (or compilers), never mind across 
completely different libstdc++'s.

Solaris 10 is free to use, but you need to register to download it. 
See:

 	http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/get.jsp

There is no seperate version for 32bit or 64bit x86. Same OS for 
both.

I think there are bittorrent downloads available for Solaris Express, 
ie the development releases of Solaris.
