Platform Independent C++ OS Library?

Now, I am about to start a project emulating embedded hardware on Windows. Been there, doing #ifdef WIN32 and #ifdef LINUX stuff, don't really want to go there any more. What I actually need is a platform independent lib covering Windows and Linux variants to handle sockets, IPC and threads abstractions. And a rock solid but simple embedded database to emulate flash memory. My reflex said, go for ACE and Berkeley-DB. Tell me, am I out of time? Am I missing something new and trendy, easier to use and better? Did time stand still?"

QT is a good platform but don't turn past Mono/.Net either. .Net isn't OSS but Mono most certainly is.

Really? These are moded trolls for expressing an opinion? I thought that's in essence what the poster was looking for. ./ is getting increasingly tedious.
