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.
The Linux version is built from the same source. And yes, you're right,
it supplies its own libstdc++ even under Linux. That's pointless, but I
reckon portability is the reason. Probably you can just delete its own
libstdc++.* and let it use the system-wide one. But it may as well be
that they have customized the library.
