Those files/defines are specific to the configuration, which is discovered
during the build.  For example, when I build it on Solaris, all those
things get automatically hardcoded for Solaris.  The setup is not perfect,
but not as bad as you think.  Porting is a key concern; there just haven't
been many people stepping forward with HP/UX headers.

Take a brief look at <URL: http://sourceware.cygnus.com/libstdc++/status.html >
for the platform situation as of late April.
