Technically they're semantically not the same; while pulling C11-capable
compiler might fix the problem, you're still telling the reader that you're
pulling C11-capable compiler, while USE_GCC means that you want GCC, devoid
of particular reasons.

In practice, compiler:c11 often used as compiler:modern.  I'd welcome this
spelling: it would actually make things more clear because now people often
abuse compiler:c11 or (even worse) compiler:c++11-lang for 98/99 code which
gcc-4.2 cannot eat, or because one of the dependencies requires new compiler
(majority of cases).
