It wants glibc-2.3.5 and here's why:


Your basic toolchain in linux consists of gcc, glibc, & kernel
headers. Try

readelf -V /usr/lib/libstdc++.so  

I get this

010:   2 (GLIBCXX_3.4)   2 (GLIBCXX_3.4)   2 (GLIBCXX_3.4)   6
(CXXABI_1.3)

and a *lot* of other lines from it on glibc-2.3.5 systems. The one
above is a hardened system, so things are weird there.

My glibc-2.3.2 system has libstdc++.so.5.0.5 from glibc-2.3.2
and readelf -V looks like this

0x0038: Rev: 1  Flags: none  Index: 3  Cnt: 2  Name: GLIBCPP_3.2.1
  0x0054: Parent 1: GLIBCPP_3.2
    
If there is some element precompiled with a different
version of glibc, it may barf in action. It is certainly barfing
under rpm. You can force that with things like --force
--ignore<different things>, but what will happen next?

Mebbe update to a glibc-2.3.5 system?
