[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #8906] configure check support for c11 and c++11

[Carnë Draug]

Follow-up Comment #3, patch #8906 (project octave):

So I will work on a patch similar to ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx so it:

1) tries to build a program (maybe it doesn't need the c++11 flag (seems like
gcc 6 sets c++14 by default for example.
2) if that doesn't work tries the flags in the same order
3) not declare any symbols

Should I copy the macro from autoconf archive and then make changes under the
same macro name, or change the name to avoid confusions. I'll guess the
later.

Also, should it go into acinclude (like all Octave macros) or into its own
separate file (since it will be so heavily based on ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx ?
