https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.8/cxx0x_status.html

As of GCC 4.8.1, C++11 is pretty much fully supported. They use the term 
"experimental", but they do list everything and say "yes" to almost 
everything. Is there some compatibility issue I'm missing here? It looks 
to me like we can build C++11 on /all/ our supported platforms now.
