What changed so drastically in this regard between there and here?

Other than the Kernel and version of GCC?

Yes, I know things have changed. Just unsure (not being a systems guy) why it wouldn't see the newer version of libstdc++ and be fine with it.

You could create a softlink with a different version number to see if the app stops complaining. This sometimes fixes little issues like that, but it's not the most elegant way I know.
You can destroy the symlink if that doesn't help.
What would I be symlinking to?

Well libstdc++ exists in /usr/lib/ on my system 4 U2 it's:
[prata@crane ~]$ ls -la /usr/lib/libstdc++.so. libstdc++.so.5 libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.5.0.7 libstdc++.so.6.0.3
(this is what results display when I tab /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.)
Now, if you know that your application is erroring off with something similar to "unable to locate libstdc++.so.2" Just as an example, then you could do something like: ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 /usr/lib/libstdc.so.2
This would fake the app out if it's just lookin' for a library with that name, as some apps tend to do.
If that doesn't work then just delete your symlink and all will be right with the world. Make sure not to delete the actual library though, I've done somethin' stupid like that before lol
