The compilation line should pass --std=c++11. Arguably, any program that invokes a compiler and does not pass a --std is buggy. Things only mostly work because mostly --std=c++17 will compile C++11 programs, and the tendency is for later compiler versions to have higher default languages. In pkgsrc, we have a way to add --std=foo via the wrappers, to handle packages that don't do this right (generally, at all). Is that what you meant, or something else?
