104 If <command>clang++</command> is available, it will be used in the
105 mistaken belief that <command>g++</command> might not support C++11,
106 even though <command>configure</command> has tested for that. If
107 using <command>g++</command> there will be an unnecessary warning at
108 the end of <command>configure</command>. Building with
109 <command>g++</command> also takes longer than the estimated SBU shown.
