Comment (by kencu):

 For my {{{/opt/bootstrap}}} miniature macports installations that prove a
 newer libcurl for macports to build against, I do set them up that way for
 minimal dependencies. (I also use a [https://github.com/kencu/macports-
 ports/blob/curl-minimal/net/minimalcurl/Portfile modified libcurl port]
 with very few deps, but that is another tale).

 In general though -- so far at least -- 10.6 through 10.8 have been the
 most compatible when they are set up to use clang and libc++ just like
 10.9+, as that is the way software is tested out in the world and fixes
 are done to support that building style.

 If you try to install much with those systems set up to libstdc++, I
 strongly suspect you will see many more build failures that way. For one
 thing, you will start seeing the same issues that require binwrapping when
 building with newer gcc versions now.
