+Subject: [PATCH] Disable c++ standard compiler flags for the host build
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+There is no test for c++ standard support for the host build
+(only for the target compiler/build) which leads to trouble
+in some cross compiling environments (old host compiler, new
+cross compiler):
+
+  g++: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-std=c++1z’
+
+So disable c++ standard compiler flags unconditionally for host builds.
+
+Task-number: QTBUG-51644
+Change-Id: Ifb3042e125fe199a7e081740d1171d26ccacf0c5
