I changed configure to explicitly request c++98.
But I am still curious in which situation this happens.
Is this using live555? If so, that would be real useful to know about, for example any reason you can't use FFmpeg for your use-case? Or do you use patches to support a newer live555 version?
Because I am considering if the best way forward is to remove all live555 code, so any info on real-world use would help make the right decision there.

Best regards,
