It claims to need:
libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.3) ld.so says libstdc++.so.5 needs it.
Near as I can tell, the libc.so.6 I have is GLIBC_2.2.
If you have a libstdc++.so.5 on your system that requires glibc 2.3, it's unusable for you. glibc aka libc is the standard C library which *every* program on your disk needs.
Is this a system specific library? (i.e. I can't upgrade it w/out upgrading the system?)
Yes, see above for the explanation. BTW1, just run /lib/libc.so.6, it'll tell you a bit :) BTW2, congrats for asking here. I've seen quite a few mails from people that had problems with a segfaulting rpm command and stating 'I only upgraded the glibc, that can't be the reason'. Philipp
