Looking at it again libc++ unfortunately isn't supplied by the apt repository, and the libstdc++ from gcc 4.7 is not going to work well / cause all sorts of odd incompatibilities.
That means for Debian Wheezy users will have to build GCC 4.8 or 4.9 themselves in order to build Mesos (Internally I know Mesosphere will be at least doing this, we may be able to provide it to others).
