When building gettext 0.22 on Centos 7 with system compiler gcc 4.8.5,
eventually the following is executed:

```
g++ -std=gnu++11 -DIN_LIBASPRINTF -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -Ignulib-lib
-I./gnulib-lib -g -O2 -c autosprintf.cc  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/autosprintf.o
```

which fails with 

```
In file included from ./config.h:1276:0,
                 from autosprintf.cc:18:
/usr/include/c++/4.8.2/type_traits:934:7: error: storage class specified for
'_gl_static_assert_function2'
       static_assert(sizeof...(_Args) > 1,
```

There is no such failure when dropping `-std=gnu++11`.

This might be a bug in gnulib, but since gettext bundles gnulib, it's a bug in
gettext too. (if only gnu packages could stop copying an arbitrary commit of
gnulib sources...)
