Question about GPLv3 license

[Amanda Madison]

Thanks to all :)

After reading the information you have provided me, there is still
something unclear to me.

I understand that there is no problem if I dynamically link the
libstdc++ library with my android Application, however I am not sure
if that would also be fine if I statically linked the library to my
software.

Thanks a lot,
Amanda.
