For many years, it was solaris in particular which was holding up GCC 
defining the correct value for __cplusplus. This has been fixed in gcc 
by adding a bunch of 'fix includes'. I don't know exactly what the 
issues were, or how much clang cares about solaris, but that is probably 
the best place to check issues.
