[cfe-dev] Building the LibC++ libraries

[Dan Albert via cfe-dev]

Building one C++14 library is sufficient. It's just the headers that need
to be compatible with old standard versions, and Marshall and Eric are
careful to keep them that way.

I'm pretty sure you couldn't build the library as C++98 even if you wanted
to.
