If you're trying to do license tracking, well, it's understandable that you're confused and upset. In my experience, it's hard to do, and it's messy. it's also off-topic for gcc-help, I'm afraid. But as long as I'm replying: Rather than trying to put glibc and libstdc++ into a folder, you probably want to just accept them as they are, and special case them in your license tracking scheme. You might find https://github.com/Oblong/obs/tree/master/licensing useful, it has some documentation and tools I used once to track licenses. (Its doc mentions https://github.com/nexB/scancode-toolkit since the licensing scripts I wrote use scancode in several ways.)
