Hm, hacking around in cdefs.h also doesn't really help, because gcc
refuses to recognize either _Static_assert or static_assert when it's
not in C++11 mode.  Reading back https://reviews.freebsd.org/D1390, I
see that I originally wanted to avoid building libcxxrt with -std=c++11.
This was so you could even build it with gcc 4.2.1 from base.

However, it really doesn't make much sense to do so, and upstream
libcxxrt simply uses static_assert directly, and requires -std=c++11.  I
will update the libcxxrt build to do so, probably tomorrow.
