The 0.13.0 release notes mention, in the context of C++11 introduction:
```
Effectively this means GCC 4.7 or higher, or Clang 3.3 or higher.
```
We should document this minimum compiler requirement in the build guides somewhere.

I'm not entirely sure where though, we don't have a general build guide, only the per-OS ones.

Can this be combined into the minimum required dependancies guide? Compiler requirements are listed in #8639, which is being turned into some actual docs in #10779.

Yes, I think that makes sense. We could even add a check to configure.ac.

Closing, this is sufficiently addressed by #10779 which is merged.
