title: configure error "A compiler with support for C++11 language features is required."
body: <p>I am trying to build the breakpad libraries based on the documentation from <a href="https://chromium.googlesource.com/breakpad/breakpad/" rel="nofollow">https://chromium.googlesource.com/breakpad/breakpad/</a> but when I execute <code>./configure &amp;&amp; make</code>,
  I get an error when checking for c++11, even though I am currently able to compile with c++11.</p>

  <p>I don't know why breakpad is complaining about my g++ not having support for c++11, or if there is a way I can override or add extra parameters so that it correctly detects my compiler.</p>
  
  <p>Any hints on what I might be missing or doing wrong? Is breakpad using another gcc that might be installed in my system?</p>
