Good, that means the compiler and standard libraries are just fine,
which I'm glad.

Maybe C++11 is more restrictive on including header (or allows the
library to be written so). Sounds like we want to add that include to
nvm as well.

Interesting, I thought I tested that. But you're right, this looks like
the macro doesn't do what it's supposed to do. It itself claims:

#   The first argument, if specified, indicates whether you insist on an
#   extended mode (e.g. -std=gnu++11) or a strict conformance mode (e.g.
#   -std=c++11).  If neither is specified, you get whatever works, with
#   preference for an extended mode.

I left it unspecified, as I'm fine with whatever works (tm).

I corrected the order of tests, now. So for gcc, it now yields the c++??
rather than gnu++?? variants.
