When cross-compiling Qt for embedded use, are C++11 compilers always available?


Personally I have avoided using latest  C++11 in my Qt applications.

My concern is that I will need to port a Qt app to an embedded platform that 
only has no C++11 compilers.  Or perhaps an old Linux distribution such as RHEL 
5.
