On my Mac (10.11.6), I built with:
* Apple LLVM version 7.3.0 (clang-703.0.31)
* clang version 4.0.0 (trunk 281486)
* gcc 4.8.3

each one x4 (C++03/11/14/1z) except for gcc 4.8, which I didn't do
-std=c++1z

The only failure to build was Boost.Fiber with Apple's clang and C++11/14/1z
And that's because that compiler doesn't support thread-local variables.
