The package that I found containing that library is http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/engarde/legacy/devel/RPMS/libstdc++-2.9.0-30.i386.html 4 years old. Maybe you have luck and can have Oracle make to accept the library from compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.118, which is a Fedora Core 1 package. It contains /usr/lib/libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so which you might try to link to libstdc++-lib6.1-1.so.2, if that is a hard coded dynamic link dependency within Oracle.
