It might be wise to set up GUB and LilyDev with a version of GCC with a 
complete and bug-free (so far as is known) implementation of C++14, even if you 
enable only C++11 for building LilyPond.

That would simplify experimentation when you eventually run into one of the 
rough edges of C++11 and want to weigh enabling C++14 against committing a 
convoluted workaround.
