Comment (by kencu):

 clang-4.0 does not work on PPC at present - the cxx11 portgroup was
 ignored on ppc until just very recently. So that would be it, I guess.
 Revbumping the whole group that uses cxx11 seems a bit aggressive.

 Perhaps this is a one-off rare event for this combination of ports (IIUC,
 cppunit could build with gcc42, but it needs to build with
 cxx11-compatible gcc6 now to work with libcaca -- a bit of a weird
 situation).

 Can we force a rebuild of the cppunit binary on the buildbot to make sure
 it's built with cxx11, and see if this comes up any further do you think,
 rather than revbumping 100+ ports for this?
