> All packages that use glibmm would be required to be updated in Ubuntu
to build with C++11 for this transition

It's the libstdc++ ABI break that causes the need for apps to be
rebuilt. glibmm using C++11 in its API should not require anything to be
rebuilt, and we'd definitely like to know if it does. I wouldn't call
use of C++11 a transition.

It's inconvenient for you that the ABI break (libstdc++) and API change
(glibmm using C++11) happened at around the same time in Ubuntu, but now
that you've now managed to rebuild (because of the libstdc++ ABI break),
for instance, subtitleeditor, with glibmm 2.44 (without C++11), updating
glibmm to 2.45/46 should have no effect whatsoever on how well the
already-built subtitleeditor works.

Title:
  FTBFS: warning: identifier 'noexcept' is a keyword in C++11 [-Wc++0x-
  compat]

Status in glibmm2.4 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Hi,

  while subtitleeditor builds fine with glibmm2.4 version 2.44.0-1 [1]
  it fails with 2.45.40-0ubuntu1 [2].

  The error is:

  /usr/include/gtkmm-3.0/gtkmm/textiter.h:1231:5: error:
  'exception_handlers_invoke' is not a member of 'Glib'

  
  The diff between both versions of glibmm2.4 show some changes with 'exception_handlers_invoke' [3] so I suspect the error comes from this changes.

  Best,
  Philip
