There is no compat-libstdc++ package in FC4, only
compat-libstdc++-296 and compat-libstdc++-33.
Both are included in the Legacy Software Support group
(which is rather small).
Is it really that hard to check that group in if you want to use
legacy software?  Not everybody uses legacy software, so forcing
it for everyone in the base group is a bad idea IMHO.
