Comment (by sjamaan):

 The GCC manual says:

 {{{
            gnu90
            gnu89
                GNU dialect of ISO C90 (including some C99 features). This
 is the default for C code.
 }}}
 ...
 {{{
            gnu11
            gnu1x
                GNU dialect of ISO C11.  This is intended to become the
 default in a future release of GCC.
                The name gnu1x is deprecated.
 }}}

 According to the [https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-5/changes.html GCC changelog],
 GCC 5 already has this option by default.  That probably means this
 problem will go away as soon as OpenBSD updates to GCC 5 (or as soon as
 they start using clang exclusively).

 So instead of hardcoding what sounds like a GCC-specific option
 (-std=gnuxx), maybe a better approach is to just ignore this warning
 (because to me this warning sounds bogus, and fixing it is just yak
 shaving).

 C-Keen: Can you verify that the problem is gone if you use GCC 5 from
 ports?
