Don't do that or you will have some unexpected crashes in future.

omniORB 2.7.0 for linux glibc2 is compiled with egcs-1.1.1. libstdc++ 2.9
comes with egcs-1.1.1. There is no safe alternative but to install
egcs-1.1.1. And use these configure options to build egcs-1.1.1:

$ ./configure --enable-shared --enable-threads

We are using binutils-2.9.1.0.14. Older versions have bugs that would
affect C++ programs. I think Redhat 5.2 comes with binutils-2.9.1.0.15 so
it should be alright.

Until Redhat and other distributions incorporates egcs-1.1.1, there is no
alternative but to build the compiler yourself.
