Hello Dimitry.

I ONLY use -std=c++11 in /etc/src.conf. The base system had never
problems so far since I use it. In /etc/make.conf, I avoid it.

But, and this is obviously a logical incosistency, the ports system
includes also /etc/src.conf, and I consider /etc/src.conf as base
system only as the man page suggests.

But the discussion has already been on the list. Somewhere in the
basd.*.mk files, /etc/src.conf is included. And I guess therefore it
comes to problems.
