Thanks for pointing this out, it looks like they removed the newer
GLIBCXX requirement that was added for 8.10, possibly due to popular demand?

Maybe. Unpacking the rpm works, anyway, I never encountered a single
binary issue since I use it like that (ordinary use, I probably don't
use that text encoding or whatever submodule which depends on a newer
libstdc++).



Please explain "Unpacking the RPM".  How is one to do that when there
are broken dependencies?

Easy.
   rpm2cpio /path/to/whatever.rpm | cpio -idm

Probably best to do that in a temporary directory and see what you get.
See the cpio manpage for other options.
