Dunno about yum, but to get that library, you need to install 
libstdc++-2.10.0-4j.ppc.rpm from YDL 2.3. You can get it at 
rpmfind.net if not from the YDL site. You will get a message that 
your installation already has a  newer version (libstd++-3.2.2-2a in 
the case of YDL 3.x that I'm still running). Not to worry, 
libstdc++-2.10.0-4j.ppc.rpm doesn't overwrite any existing libraries 
(but check that first using the various rpm probes at your disposal, 
and 'locate'), so just use --force.

I doubt this will fix it, but I'm curious to see how much further you 
get. I've been corresponding with Neill Miller of the codefactory 
Mozilla builds fame because of the exact same problem. We haven't 
found the issue yet... using the same -x technique, I'm getting an 
exit when the binary of Neill's builds is started.
