ah ok, getting rid of STLport is a good idea in general.

i've looked a bit at the documentation of libstdc++, and it seems to
have a STL debug mode as well:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/bk01pt03ch17s03.html

but currently LO doesn't seem to use it (couldn't find
-D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG); why is that?

OOo on non-STLport platforms didn't seem to use it either.
