The symlink is there because the library is present in different paths in between 64-bit and 32-bit compiler (one is /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/.../ while the other one is /usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/.../ and the 32-bit gcc-c++ package expects libstdc++.a in the latter path, while 64-bit gcc-c++ package in the former path (under 32/ subdirectory). So the symlink allows the same libstdc++-static.i686 package to be used by both compilers (one can install either 32-bit compiler (which supports only 32-bit compilation, typically in 32-bit distro) or 64-bit compiler, which can support both 32-bit and 64-bit compilation.
