I guess you mean http://cxx.uclibc.org

BTW: 'the STL' is a library created by HP long ago. It influenced the C++
standardlibrary, but it is not part thereof although oth intersect a lot.
IOW, very strictly spoken, your above sentence makes no sense.

Firstly, I'm not sure how that is related to the GCC. However, you could
take a look at e.g. STLport and how they do it. IIRC, disambiguating
between the two versions is done via some metaprogramming tricks.
And no, other than STLport's, you can't copy code from GCC's libstdc++ due
to conflicting licenses AFAICT, but IANAL.
