Yes, evidently. It's catering to a user who wants to build libomptarget from C++11 source, but is not willing to build a compiler from C++11 source, and is not willing to download a binary version of such a compiler. That's surely the empty set.

I believe it does have such usage. I just don't believe that requiring the same compiler capability as the rest of llvm will hinder this, and I definitely believe in the ongoing inefficiency induced by sticking with an older C++ revision. Exactly the same arguments that (eventually) moved the rest of llvm up to C++14 apply here.
