This is expected behavior.

Setting the language level to -std='c++11' enables strict ISO C++ library 
support. fdopen() is not part of the C11 or C++11 standards. Instead it is a 
POSIX function.

I've found that this "feature" of gcc quite helpful to uncover implicit 
dependencies on POSIX.

If POSIX features are desired, you can either use another language level for 
the -std option or you can enable a number of macros that glibc understand 
depending on the POSIX level you want.

  -D'_POSIX_SOURCE=1'
  -D'_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L'
  -D'_XOPEN_SOURCE=700'
  -D'_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED=1'

GNU extensions can then be enabled using:

  -D'_GNU_SOURCE=1'
