Mixing C++ libraries and executables from C++11 and C++98 does not work, unfortunately the dynamic linker is unaware of this (the library name or SOVERSION does not change), so attempts to load the "wrong" library and runs into missing symbols. (we've recently seen the same thing between /usr/bin/eos and Xrootd libraries from CVMFS).
