libsdtc++ is the GNU implementation of the Standard C++ library
required by the ANSI/ISO C++ Standard.

libg++ is a library of GNU-specific C++ classes.  It is not maintained
anymore, and so you should stop using it and rewrite your code to use
equivalent classes from libstdc++.

Because it isn't maintained anymore.
