No, there is no bug. The symlink is there because the library is present
in different paths in between 64-bit and 32-bit compiler (one is
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/.../
while the other one is
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/.../
and the 32-bit gcc-c++ package expects libstdc++.a in the latter path,
while 64-bit gcc-c++ package in the former path (under 32/ subdirectory).
So the symlink allows the same libstdc++-static.i686 package to be used by
both compilers (one can install either 32-bit compiler (which supports only
32-bit compilation, typically in 32-bit distro) or 64-bit compiler, which
can support both 32-bit and 64-bit compilation.
