Just an idea, 
Try either of the following:
1. Download the compat-libstdc++-7.3*.rpm from RH 9 and install it under RHEL 
3. It may work.
2. Or, get the SRPM for compat-libstdc++-7.3 and rebuild then install under 
RHEL 3. 

Would you let me know if any of those work? The RHEL 3 machine that I have to 
right now is a production machine and I'd rather reluctant to play around 
with it.

Thanks.
