Comment:

 Replying to [comment:8 jfcaron@…]:
 > I would like to revive this ticket and add to the request that the flag
 not just be for --enable-cxx11, but to make root link against libcxx
 instead of libgcc.  The basic problem is that even if you compile the root
 port using a modern compiler that supports C++11, the libgcc library
 doesn't.  Try using a list initializer in a compiled ROOT macro and it
 doesn't compile.

 library support only takes us so far.

 Yes.  I suggest that we enable C++11 support based on what the C++ runtime
 is.  If the user is using libc++, we should enable it.
