Why does Apple clang disallow C++11 thread_local when 'official' clang supports it

Below is a simple program that tests using a C++11 thread_local variable of non-POD type in a shared library.

If I use homebrew clang, this works fine:

> /usr/local/Cellar/llvm/3.5.0_2/bin/clang --version                                          
clang version 3.5.0 (tags/RELEASE_350/final)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin14.0.0
Thread model: posix

>  ./main

X after in thread: 2
XXX LifeCycle::~LifeCycle 0x7fedc0c04c10
X after: 1

However, if I try to use Apple Clang, I get an error message saying that it is not supported:

Can anyone offer any insight into why Apple's clang variant cowardly refuses to honor thread_local, despite the fact that the underlying compiler supports it, and the generated code appears to work?

lib.h:

#pragma once

int doit(int) __attribute__((__visibility__("default")));

lib.cpp:

#include "lib.h"

#include <thread>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <cstdio>

namespace {

    class LifeCycle {
    public:
        LifeCycle()
            : x(-17) {
            printf("XXX LifeCycle::LifeCycle %pn", this);
        }

        ~LifeCycle() {
            printf("XXX LifeCycle::~LifeCycle %pn", this);
        }

        int x;
    };

    thread_local LifeCycle lc;
} // namespace

int doit(int arg) {
    printf("X before: %dn", lc.x);
    lc.x = arg;
    std::thread xwriter([arg]() {
            if (lc.x == arg)
                abort();
            printf("X before in thread: %dn", lc.x);
            lc.x = arg + 1;
            printf("X after in thread: %dn", lc.x);
        });
    xwriter.join();
    printf("X after: %dn", lc.x);
    return (lc.x == arg ? EXIT_SUCCESS : EXIT_FAILURE);
}

main.cpp:

#include "lib.h"

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    return doit(argc);
}

CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.1)

set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-Wall -std=c++11 -mmacosx-version-min=10.7 -stdlib=libc++")

add_library(lib SHARED lib.cpp)
add_executable(main main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(main lib)
