Description
After we move to circle (#536) we should start using a consistent base docker image for building binaries on linux (@mapbox/core-tech will provide and maintain this base image). We should make sure this docker image has at least `libstdc++-4.8-dev` available to support c++11 out of the box, but potentially using a more recent version (or making it possible to toggle) could be desirable, so this will take some thought.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the CircleCI move referenced in #536 and the proposed base image from @mapbox/core-tech. Confirm how Linux binary builds will consume the image and verify that libstdc++-4.8-dev supports C++11; done means CI uses one maintained base image with that dependency available, with any version toggle resolved.
