As dim says, enabling it does not mean requiring things to use it. I would
like to flip this switch as soon as possible so that it's easy for ports people
maintaining C++ ports to see if their stuff breaks with -stdlib=libc++. A few
have already tested this, but I'd like to see much wider testing.
The more important switches to worry about are:
- Changing the default for -stdlib= to libc++ (it's currently libstdc++. I
think I'll probably make it libc++ when std={c,gnu}++11 soon)
- Removing libstdc++ from base and putting it in the compat9 port.
These have the potential to impact users significantly. Simply having
libc++.{so,a} on their system does not unless they explicitly choose to test it.
