I'd say for sure that different STL implementations are not binary 
compatible. That means you cannot link a library compiled with one STL 
to something compiled with another. IIRC you also have to omit 
libstdc++, but I'm not sure about that. Try a sigc + gtkmm library 
compiled with the other STL.

Yes, this sucks. But luckily it's quite unusual to mix different C++ 
compiler / libraries.
