Compiling with a -std= flag should link with such a flag too.
Flags like this are why CMake has always passed CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS
to the C++ compiler when using it to drive the linker.  This does
not appear to be the case anywhere right now when the flag is added
via CXX_STANDARD.

Marc, meanwhile you should be able to bootstrap CMake with

 bootstrap ... -- -DCMake_NO_C_STANDARD=1 -DCMake_NO_CXX_STANDARD

to skip trying to use any -std= flags.
