We have lots of gcc 4.x toolchains, and we haven't had any build
failure. I believe it builds fine with gcc 4.x.

The code requiring C++11 that causes the build failure with gcc 5.x is
in libstdc++ itself. As I discussed with Yann on IRC, I don't really
understand why some code in libstdc++ uses C++11, without gcc 5.x
defaulting to C++11.

Maybe you have a clue?

Thanks,

Thomas
