Sorry, yes I misunderstood your problem. After a little digging, it seems
like you probably shouldn't be using the -stdlib option on Linux
<https://stackoverflow.com/a/50407611/1938798> anyway. FWIW, for Android,
the roadmap
<https://android.googlesource.com/platform/ndk/+/master/docs/Roadmap.md> is
converging on a single STL implementation too.

Regarding your earlier comment:

If you are trying to control which STL to use for Android builds,
CMake variables like CMAKE_ANDROID_STL_TYPE are probably the more
appropriate way to do that rather than hard-coding compiler flags.
This would also mean that non-Android builds won't be affected since
they would simply ignore that variable (and target properties it may
affect) and should then pick up the right STL implementation
automatically.The Android-specific variable would ideally be set in a
toolchain file rather than in the project itself.
