I have not investigated deeply into that matter, but there could be
a problem for users linking together genode code with c++ code which
cannot be compiled in c++11 mode.

I'm no expert in that field but somebody who is might take a look at
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Cxx11AbiCompatibility and
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53646

As far as I understand the above deal mainly with issues
within the standard library which might not be a problem
when relying on the genode toolchain but could for the
lx_hybrid platform.
