Seems like we should leave compat-libstc+++ in for a release cycle
more....  Fedora, for better or worse, tends to lead rather than follow
in the glibc versioning (no great surprise since Cygnus was acquired by
Red Hat).

Let's drop it at the next base system update.... (if there isn't a new
one by then anyway ;-)).
