Another feedback from a downstream user: in order to build our
llvm-based compiler once and have it run on a large variety of Linux
machines, we're using ubuntu trusty as build environment, which has
the nice property of using a rather old GLIBC version. Ubuntu trusty
ships by default with g++-4.8. This can obviously be worked around
though.
