Check out the C++ Foundations<Toolkit> and other portable C++ libraries
from ObjectSpace:  http://www.objectspace.com/products/toolkits .

I have been using them for about 6 years or so.  We use their libraries
for
	+ threading
	+ system/process management
	+ time
	+ files
	+ sockets and communication
	+ STL

We have used them on Linux, NT, and Solaris.  The quality is always
excellent, the design and coverage is good, and the source code is
included.

At one point, they made some of these libraries available free, but this
might have been only the STL portion.
