You cannot compile for C++11 on a 9.x installation, because clang will
use libstdc++ by default there, and the version of libstdc++ in the
9.x base system is not C++11 compatible.

To be able to use C++11, you must install libc++ first, using for
example:

export CC=clang
export CXX=clang++

cd /usr/src/lib/libcxxrt
make obj
make depend
make
make install

cd /usr/src/lib/libc++
make obj
make depend
make
make install

Alternatively, rebuild world with these settings in /etc/src.conf:

WITH_CLANG_IS_CC=y
WITH_LIBCPLUSPLUS=y

On FreeBSD 10.x, clang and libc++ are the defaults, and C++11 can be
used out of the box.

This is because libstdc++ defines numeric_limits<int>::max() as follows:

  template<>
    struct numeric_limits<int>
    {
...
      static int max() throw()
      { return __INT_MAX__; }

While max() appears to be pretty constant in its return value, it is not
defined constexpr, and therefore you cannot use it in a static assert.

Note that later versions of libstdc++ do use constexpr when appropriate:
