Rob, You shouldn't have to upgrage libstdc++, or remove the egcs-c++ package, just install the required version of libstdc++. Morover, the last I remember it is included with the DX rpm, so you should be able to get by with simply copying it to /usr/lib.
If I've mis-spoke, please feel free to correct me.
