gdb will drop support for building with a C compiler any week
now, and even though we're starting out with C++03, just like gcc,
it'd be great to require C++11 (or later). Having gcc itself
switch to C++11 too would make proposing it for gdb so much
easier...
So +1 from me, FWIW. :-)

Yeah. I wonder whether the community would in general be fine with
that too.
