So it actually does look like Red Hat figured some way out of this
with the appropriate application of compat- packages...

zhaan:~$ ldd /usr/bin/apt-get 
        libapt-pkg.so.3.1 => /usr/lib/libapt-pkg.so.3.1 (0x40033000)
        librpm-4.0.4.so => /usr/lib/librpm-4.0.4.so (0x40148000)
        librpmdb-4.0.4.so => /usr/lib/librpmdb-4.0.4.so (0x40193000)
        librpmio-4.0.4.so => /usr/lib/librpmio-4.0.4.so (0x4024e000)
        libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x4028d000)
        libbz2.so.1 => /usr/lib/libbz2.so.1 (0x4029b000)
        libpopt.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpopt.so.0 (0x402aa000)
        libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 => /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 (0x402b3000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/i686/libm.so.6 (0x402f4000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x42000000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 (0x40316000)
        librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x40346000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x40357000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
zhaan:~$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 
compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.110

Now this has me really curious...  Where is that weird library
name/version coming from...  Well, it looks like maybe Red Hat had
this planned out in advance.

osiris:~$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 
libstdc++-2.96-112

Just for fun, I tried running the Red Hat 7.3 version of kcalc, and it
appears to work just fine as well.

zhaan:~$ ldd ./kcalc
        kcalc-gcc2.96.so => /usr/lib/kcalc-gcc2.96.so (0x40013000)

        libexpat.so.0 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 (0x40ea7000)

I'm a little curious how libqt-mt.so.3 works out to be
/usr/lib/qt3-gcc2.96/lib/libqt-mt.so.3, but not enough so to actually
figure it out right now.  :-)

Now, of course, I wouldn't expect anything to work in the *other*
direction...
