Good catch. Two more observations: 1. The ban on C++11 library features will eventually get lifted as toolchain support on all platforms improves. 2. We may be linking against C++ libraries like ICU. I'd need to check that, and in many cases it would be Gentoo-specific thing since upstream uses bundled libs by default. Paweł
