Thanks for your suggestion. I'm amazed by the amount of effort 
you guys put into helping me. Unfortunately the only precompiled 
version of libstdc++ available for the system in question via Red 
Hat repo's is 4.4.7, and compiling llvm from scratch requires at 
least 4.7. I'll be fine using DMD for now as I'm still learning 
more about D :).
