I believe that Kylix 3 runs well under Red Hat 8, and 9 isn't supposed to be a major leap over 8, from what I gather. > The current CGI is a little complicated and relies heavily on OOP data > structures.

Try the Kylix possibility first, since you have the portable code already. I wouldn't assume from the outset that Kylix isn't "catching up" with Linux releases. On top of that, you don't have to upgrade Linux just because Red Hat puts out a new release.
