Hi,
Your reply is really helpful. One more question is about cxx library in L4re. l4re has an additional cxx library (src/l4/pkg/cxx), which also includes some c++ support stuff. As we already have libstdc++ and libsupc++, why do we need such additional library? What is the relationship between this cxx library and libstdc++, libsupc++?
cxx is a very simple support library that is useful if you do not want to include the whole libstdc++, for example, because it is not yet available (libstdc++ also has build requirements) or you want to have something tiny etc. However, there's also no strong technical pro/cons for all cases, sometimes it's just taste or similar.
