A BSD-licensed cross-platform standard C++11 library implementation. It 
is developed as part of the clang project, but is not supposed to be 
clang-specific.

At least I believe those were the goals; I think it only works with 
clang on Mac OS X for now.

(Note: it's the first hit on Google for 'libc++')

libstdc++ is licensed under a GPL variant and is only meant to work with 
GCC.
