I made my own distro, and encountered this problem.  I solved it by
downloading the YDL 2.0 Glibc 2.1.3 compatability libs, installing them, and
adding a line like this to the beginning of the .java_wrapper file:

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.1-2-2.10.0.so

The symbols were defined in that lib.  Note, that at one point I had
this environment variable exported from /etc/profile, and a handful of
programs ceased to work in mysterious ways; so I'd stick with only messing
with the .java_wrapper, and affecting only java.
