What exactly is fixed? the problem was, the library
libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 was missing. This library is still missing.
bor@localhost ~ $ rpm -q -l egcs-libstdc++
/usr/lib/libg++.so.2.7.2.8
/usr/lib/libstdc++-2-libc6.2-1-2.9.0.so
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.7.2.8
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8.0
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.9.dummy
bor@localhost ~ $ rpm -q egcs-libstdc++
egcs-libstdc++-1.1.2-41mdk
It is missing in libstdc++ as well:
bor@localhost ~ $ rpm -q -l libstdc++
/usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so
/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2
/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
bor@localhost ~ $ rpm -q libstdc++
libstdc++-2.96-0.40mdk
So, please - what is fixed?
BTW after updating both libstdc++ and egcs-libstdc++ I have dangling link:

/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 -> libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so
All libraries are (link for libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3 was created by me).
