Comment (by RJVB):

 Replying to [comment:5 MartySkinner]:
 > I know nothing about it, yet the port for gsmartcontrol includes a
 {{{PortGroup cxx11 1.1}}} statement. Maybe that could help simplify things
 here too—if not now, then for later versions of smartmontools?

 It is my understanding that the cxx11 PG imposes the libc++ conversion on
 older (10.8 and earlier) systems. That may be relevant for gsmartcontrol,
 but AFAIAC it would be way too invasive to require this for software that
 doesn't *require* C++11.

 admittedly I just wanted to get a successful build. :) Configure may
 succeed without it.

 The build succeeds fine without giving the option on 10.9 . Either way, I
 cannot test this, so I'm going with the default.
