I did encounter problems with syntax errors when compiling with clang, see OS#3663 for details. (Relating to rtl_tcp)
I did not add something to the README.
I can certainly believe you had errors. But, changing the compiler requirement is significant -- particularly on platforms that don't have last week's compiler -- and if it isn't the plan to require C++14, then it seems like a workaround to enable that. My point really is that there should be a decision about the language, that should be in the README, and the build system should set --std for that chosen language, and then whatever needs to be fixed should be fixed.

I only added the flag for compilers based on the existing pattern *.clang and my new pattern matching "c++“. So the Build system is setting the language only for clang at this point.

So this is not really about your change, but it seems that the modern C++ world is complicated enough and various compilers have various defaults (which itself seems buggy), so my point is that we should be setting --std always (to a value that matches what the README says is needed), rather than special casing which is building up a record of defaults that don't work.
I tested the output for c++98 which resulted in the bugs original errors:
And there is c++03. But if it really needs C++11, that's how it is. The last release does not, but it seems master and the last release are very far apart.
