I'm not sure breaking out Mac for compiling is necessary, just that people who want to work on this need to use a more recent OS version. The default system compiler (clang) for 10.7+ supports -std=cxx11.
The main problem is that the hardware itself can't run 10.7 or later. If someone wants to buy me a new machine, that would be great. :-)
Crowd funding, perhaps? :-).
Using MacPorts, clang-3.3/clang-3.4/clang-3.5 currently build for 10.6 64-bit and install from prebuilt binaries. I don't have any information about 32 bit builds, per se, but would encourage Jon to try again as I believe the previous problems have been resolved.
I've tried several times, and will run a pass again. However, there hadn't been much traction on the 32-bit clang issues.
I don't see any open tickets on the subject right now and usually people are not shy to file them. Still see support tickets for ppc on Tiger for instance and we have a few developers who have the hardware to work these issues.
If you do give it a try, be sure to first upgrade to the latest MacPorts 2.3.1 (released this week) which has some new features regarding libcxx/libstdcxx selection and now uses clang 3.4 as the fallback compiler (instead of clang 3.3) for ports that don't build using gcc 4.2 (typically 10.6 or earlier).
Please let me know if you have problems
