It looks like that gets error is related to a pre-c++11 version of
libstdc++ installed on the VM. I've attempted to update that
teeks99-02-dc3.5-14 runner with a new version, we'll see how it goes.

That raises the bigger issue of libstdc++ vs libc++ (or libstdcxx, STLport,
etc). I'm thinking that maybe the clang instanced (>=3.5) should be
switched to libc++? Any thoughts? Maybe a question for the developers list?
