No appreciable difference in code size and I haven't tested performance.

The main reason I wanted to get libstdc++ working was that at some point
I want to switch to GCC 3.4.2 for new projects and the STLport guys
haven't taken an interest in eCos support AFAICT. Presumably libstdc++
support would work for future GCC versions without much effort as
compared to STLport.

My impression is that libstc++ is more heavily tested(ref. libstdc++ GCC
testsuite on a raft of platforms) and there is a consensus(pthreads) on
how to support multithreaded exceptions.

Well.... I wonder. eCosPro contains libstdc++ support.  So... ?
