If you look at Linux platforms that have not a default C++11-ready compiler (ie

longer security maintained since April or May this year. And 14.04 old-LTS has
GCC 4.8
Debian old-old-stable wheezy has gcc 4.7 but will be end-of-life May 2018, so
when GDAL
trunk will be released. Debian old-stable jessie has gcc 4.9, so it is fine.
RHEL/Centos 6 with gcc 4.4 and its super long support cycle is probably the
only Linux distro
that don't have the requirements out-of-the-box and still be security
maintained at the time
GDAL trunk is released.
Red Hat have "Software Collections" with several newer version of gcc
(up to 4.9.2 and 5.3.1) that can be installed on RHEL/CentOS 6 alongside
the system compilers; these build code which is compatible with the system
libraries.
C++11 should not be a major problem for RHEL/CentOS 6.
