Some (very small) questions / cleanups
1) Do you plan on supporting CXX11 ABI on C++03? There is some #if
__cplusplus < 201103L inside the new basic_string.
2) Is there a need for the #if 0 _M_mutate?
I tried bootstrapping on Mac OS X 10.10, and got lots of linking
issues, the relevant part is::
/bin/sh ../libtool --tag CXX --mode=link
