Windows we would ideally move to Visual Studio 2013 or later due to the community edition release and C++11 support, and Clang has been good since 3.0/3.1.
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (last LTS release) was GCC 4.8.2, it looks like Debian stable is back on GCC 4.7.2. Many have backports/methods for getting modern clang/gcc searching the web. The Linux situation seems reasonable, KDE frameworks require GCC 4.5+ and have the following policy, https://community.kde.org/Frameworks/Policies#Frameworks_compiler_requirements_and_C.2B.2B11 I think 4.7 would give us a fair chunk more, along with clang 3.1. Quite a few libraries made the leap a while back. There are of course others who haven't, but I would hate to go to a lot of extra effort for an audience that does not exist. Android NDK even seems to have C++11 support in the Clang toolchain.
