The rpm certainly contains a standard C++ library, namely libstdc++
v2.

No, it isn't.

What you don't understand is the versioning. HJ Lu introduced the
mechanism that every time the API is changed (even for minor,
incompatible changes), the directory where the header files are
installed is changed. It happens that gcc 2.95 ships with a library
that installs itself into a directory g++-3. We still refer to this
library as libstdc++ v2, as it is essentially the library that was
there in gcc 2.8, gcc 2.7, and older compilers.

The rewrite of libstdc++, which will be included in gcc 3, and which
is codenamed libstdc++ v3, is not in this RPM.
