FC3 has compat-libstdc++-8-3.3.4.1, which contains the 2.96-RH libstdc++.so
as well as GCC 3.3 libstdc++.so.
You cannot compile new programs with 2.96-RH though, which is done on
purpose.  FC3 is going to contain compat-gcc (GCC 3.3.4, hopefully with a
switch for GCC 3.2 binary compatibility), gcc (GCC 3.4.[12]) and gcc35
(preview of GCC trunk, which ought to be binary compatible with 3.4.[12]).
Shipping more compilers is just insane.
