Since the eboard project is hardly maintained, an upstream patch is 
currently difficult to implement. Therefore I consider to take the tip 
to heart and to change to USE_STDCXX=gnu++14 in the games/eboard port. 
The port builds well, the program seems to work without errors.

Still, one more question: is it safe to remove USES=compiler:c++11-lang 
for architectures other than amd64 and i386 and just use 
USE_STDCXX=gnu++14. I have no way to test for arm, etc.

Thanks for clarification.
