--------------------+--------------------
 There are always a few issues that come up with base as time goes by --
 currently we have tweaks regarding thread_local, c++11 selection on older
 systems, c++14 compiler selection, C11 compiler selection tweaks, and also
 c++17 compiler selection tweaks.

 All these are added to various ports with comments to remove them once
 base is updated.

 This seems pretty inefficient, and I suspect more of this will go on with
 the new added architecture and the inevitable issues coming forth from
 that.

 It would be more agile if {{{portconfigure.tcl}}} could be moved into the
 ports tree for hotfixing, and a lot of this work could be done at one
 time, in one place, as the issues are found.
