Most likely it is missing MT in main package config.

Oh, right, I missed that it is necessary now.

So the situation is much better now. There is just few problems left:

Ubuntu 12.4 and ScientificLinux 6 both fail, because their compiler (GCC 4.6 and 4.7, respectively) is so old it doesn't even support the option -std=c++11. Also the compiler in Debian Wheezy (GCC 4.7) doesn't work. This one already knows c++11, but thread_local keyword is not implemented, so the compilation fails.

And the last problem is in ArchLinux packages where the compilation fails on conflicting declaration of abs(int64), which is already present in stdlib in C++11.

Is it safe to drop support for the old distros, even though they are still supported? Ubuntu 12.4 has end-of-life scheduled for April 2017, Debian Wheezy has LTS until May 2018 and ScientificLinux 6 even has full support until Q2 2017 (and then maintenance updates until November 2020).
