How is that supposed to work?

  $ gcc -xc++ -std=c++98 -dM -E - < /dev/null | grep cplus
  #define __cplusplus 1

  $ gcc -xc++ -std=c++0x -dM -E - < /dev/null | grep cplus
  #define __cplusplus 1

Actually I'm wondering if that's not a bug in gcc:

  $ gcc -xc -std=c89 -dM -E - < /dev/null | grep STDC
  #define __STDC_HOSTED__ 1
  #define __STDC__ 1

  $ gcc -xc -std=c99 -dM -E - < /dev/null | grep STDC
  #define __STDC_HOSTED__ 1
  #define __STDC_VERSION__ 199901L
  #define __GNUC_STDC_INLINE__ 1
  #define __STDC__ 1

  [~]$ gcc -xc++ -std=c++98 -dM -E - < /dev/null | grep STDC
  #define __STDC_HOSTED__ 1
  #define __STDC__ 1
  [~]$ gcc -xc++ -std=c++0x -dM -E - < /dev/null | grep STDC
  #define __STDC_HOSTED__ 1
  #define __STDC__ 1

Shouldn't -std=c++0x include the definitions for -std=c99, namely

  #define __STDC_VERSION__ 199901L

???
