I very much agree, we don't want to make it any more difficult for
newcomers to get started with LLDB. A while back It found it difficult
enough to get LLDB built in a Linux VM because the standard GCC that
came with the distribution predated C++11 support. Clang and LLVM
require a modern-enough toolchain that I don't see a reason we should
be even more restrictive in LLDB.
