-r255585 (and later) upstream still has (quoted extractions from file =
showing more context):

. . .

In modern times for -std=3Dc++11 this turns off the 11 or so features by =
defining the 11 or so macros. This is because -std=3Dc++11  in =
powerpc64-gcc is no longer classfied as experimental (experimental =
before 5.1, not 5.1 and later if I what I read is correct). Those =
disabled things are no longer experimental and =
__GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__ no longer determines their status in =
sufficiently modern g++'s.

And it appears that clang/llvm is gradually doing things that add more =
dependence on having enabled c++11 features, such as now getting the =
error that I originally showed.

Without such a __config change powerpc64-gcc will not compile the 3.8.0 =
source: I tried before changing it. (_LIBCPP_HAS_NO_TRAILING_RETURN also =
needs to not be defined to avoid the specific error that I showed. It is =
not just _LIBCPP_HAS_NO_RVALUE_REFERENCES that matters.)

I picked the __cplusplus version check based on using boost's =
long-established version check (1.57.0-1.60.0 of boost) but using =
201103L makes sense from the language definition point of view as well.

The specific error that I originally showed traced back to std::begin(. =
. .) and std::end(. . .) getting old definitions because of the =
conditional logic in <iterator> that was engaged by 2 of the mistaken =
disables overall (more quoted extractions, this time from <iterator>):

. . .
> #if !defined(_LIBCPP_HAS_NO_RVALUE_REFERENCES) && =
!defined(_LIBCPP_HAS_NO_TRAILING_RETURN)

. . . Modern std::begin and std::end definitions (and more) . . .

> #else  // !defined(_LIBCPP_HAS_NO_RVALUE_REFERENCES) && =
!defined(_LIBCPP_HAS_NO_TRAILING_RETURN)

. . . Old std::begin and std::end definitions . . .

> #endif  // !defined(_LIBCPP_HAS_NO_RVALUE_REFERENCES) && =
!defined(_LIBCPP_HAS_NO_TRAILING_RETURN)
. . .


Other notes:

It looks like -r255585 upstream also added to the logic for =
_LIBCPP_HAS_NO_CONSTEXPR and has:

> // constexpr was added to GCC in 4.6.
> #if _GNUC_VER < 406
> #define _LIBCPP_HAS_NO_CONSTEXPR
> // Can only use constexpr in c++11 mode.
> #elif !defined(__GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__) && __cplusplus < 201103L
> #define _LIBCPP_HAS_NO_CONSTEXPR
> #endif

that I did not that way. There are also versions:

-r257707 2016-Jan-13
-r257629 2016-Jan-13 (marked as "Update version to 3.9")
-r257422 2016-Jan-11
-r257368 2016-Jan-11
-r256652 2015-Dec-30
-r256325 2015-Dec-23
-r255868 2015-Dec-15
-r255683 2015-Dec-15
-r255585 2015-Dec-14 (the one that you identified)

But I did not try to pick a point from this history of changes at all =
and so may have missed other things that would be appropriate beyond the =
issue that I was trying to address.


I may well be the only one that cares if powerpc64-gcc (or analogous =
???-gcc's) can buildworld for clang380-import before it is merged into =
11.0-CURRENT. Since I've been able to rebuild (non-LIB32) I'm not stuck =
if you leave things as they are for now.

If __config is not changed now, I'll try to be a cross check on =
remembering the issue later so that 11.0-CURRENT can continue to build =
(non-LIB32) with powerpc64-gcc. (I do not have any hardware context for =
other ???-gcc xtoolchain use but all should track powerpc64-gcc on the =
issue as far as I know.)
