Hi,

For making the switch to C++11, all C++ dependencies have to be compiled using C++11 too.
It is indeed dangerous to link C++11 objects and C++ objects compiled according to
previous standards:
- http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Cxx11AbiCompatibility
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9408656/do-we-need-to-recompile-libraries-with-c11
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10065055/why-is-stdlist-bigger-on-c11

So basically the main requirements for us to switch to C++11 would be that qt binaries
provided by distros are compiled according to C++11. I don't known if this is the case
currently but i doubt it.

Cheers,
Jean Ghali
