Description

Recently it became clear that the ios/android builds were broken due to clang++-3.8 being installed for those platforms (and not being available). Glitches that cascade from the main .travis.yml need to be caught by unit tests somehow and this ticket will track this. Independently we could remove cascading to avoid this particularly breakage, but the issue still remains that we should be testing ios/android (and other achs?) better.

Research direction

Inspect the main .travis.yml and the existing iOS/Android build and unit-test setup first. Reproduce or trace how the clang++-3.8 configuration cascades to those platforms, then add coverage that detects unavailable compiler settings and catches broken iOS/Android builds. Done means the relevant platform checks fail clearly instead of silently inheriting a broken configuration.
