To me, coming from the mobile world, it's natural to stick with a particular, proven toolchain and assume others won't work until someone validates them and proves that they do. Toolchain bugs are usually difficult and labor intensive to spot and I'd rather not burn my cycles chasing them.

Since C++11 is experimental, it makes sense to want to have control over its use. Though I'd have to agree with others that this is not completely solving the problem. But with this, we can exercise a bit better control.

Also, having specific toolchain dependencies could prevent potential headaches for phone vendors using our software.

As pointed out, drop the changelog mods.
