You can go ahead and pull the Linux x86 build now: 

Just as a note, these builds will fail on a default install of FC5 or
above.  The fix is to install the compat-libstdc++-33 package, fedora
apparently decided that breaking the ABI for C++ applications by default
is no big deal.  However to maintain compatibility with older
distributions we will be sticking with the older versions of the
libraries for the time being.  If we could add a note about this
somewhere that'd probably be a good idea...
