I think it's worth asking: is there legitimate reason that Sun has
provided its own version of this "core" library, which comes with GCC?
How old does a Linux distro or other OS have to be to not have
libstdc++.so.6 ?

If this is true, then portability may be the reason -- especially
Windows portability, because Windows doesn't have such a sophisticated
package management with dependencies and stuff. Windows programs need
to provide by themselves the libraries they depend on. That's why
Windows programs are hugh monolithic beasts compared to their rather
slim Linux counterparts, and that's why Windows distribution involves a
lot of redundancy.

No, I'm referring the *Linux* version of OpenOffice.
It provides its own libstdc++.so.6.
