The program below built on the target with the MACHINE=beaglebone 
gcc-4.9.1 compiler from Yocto/OpenEmbedded poky master produces this error:

beaglebone[52]$ g++ -std=c++1y -pthread test.cc && ./a.out
starting
joining
pure virtual method called
terminate called without an active exception
Aborted (core dumped)

When the program is recompiled with the defines for 
__GCC_HAVE_SYNC_COMPARE_AND_SWAP_X enabled as suggested at 
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/automatak-dnp3/Jisp_zGhd5I/ck_Cj6nO8joJ 
it works:

beaglebone[53]$ g++ -std=c++1y -pthread test.cc && ./a.out
starting
joining
doit
done

Preliminary analysis confirms that the built-ins for those defines are 
not being added by the compiler because it thinks the target doesn't 
support those operations.  Nonetheless, it doesn't use the substitutes 
that are obviously available.

Can anybody recall anything about the way GCC is built under OE that 
would explain this?
