Point about -std=gnu++ vs. -std=c++ taken, I'll fix it in v5.

My idea here was to use the earliest version of the C++ standard which
supports rvalue references and compile with that, since compiling with
every version after that should produce a functionally identical
program. So I'd say for every version of GCC capable of processing (GNU)
C++11+ code we should hardcode -std=gnu++11, based on the assumption
that the supplied version of the compiler is working correctly using any
standard. IOW I think we should be testing GDB, not GCC here. 

That said, I think your approach has an advantage of letting the
testsuite pass when using an old compiler not supporting C++11. If we
should cater for those, then this consideration outweighs the ones in
the paragraph above. If not, then for the reasons given above, I think
we should leave -std=gnu++11 in place.

WDYT?

Sure thing. Will fix in v5.

Thanks,
