Initial brainstorming notes: ## OS X - Using the latest version of XCode for clang++ (or latest clang++ via https://github.com/mapbox/mason/) - Only supporting OS X 10.8 and above that ship...

Working on https://github.com/springmeyer/glibcxx-symbol-versioning to get a good handle on how symbol versioning works on linux and what triggers your binaries to require certain GLIBCXX symbols. /cc @mapsam @GretaCB
