Well the Xcode-supplied g++s and clang would be using the system 
libstdc++, which doesn't support C++11, and std::log2 is a C++11 feature.

The g++-mp variants should support it, but seemingly don't because of 
the bug that Ken mentioned, which should be fixed in GCC 7.

Clang can support C++11 if you use -stdlib=libc++.
