Specifying go build's version of C++

I'm trying to build a go project that uses a third party library (GDAL) that's written in C and C++. I've run into this error:

In file included from contour.cpp:31:0:
cpl_port.h:187:6: error: #error Must have C++11 or newer.
 #    error Must have C++11 or newer.
      ^

                 from cpl_conv.h:372,
                 from contour.cpp:39:

 #error This file requires compiler and library support for the \
  ^

Some searching tells me this is expected, and the fix is to simply set a flag on the compiler (not go related, but still pertinent).

I've read through go's documentation on building, and while it suggests it's possible to specify options to individual compilers, it doesn't explicitly spell out how, nor does it provide any examples.

I've tried the following just guessing, and while the go build command accepts them, they produce the same error, so they don't work.

go build -gcflags -std=gnu++11 -ldflags -std=gnu++11
go build -gcflags -std=c++11 -ldflags -std=c++11
go build -gcflags -std=c++11
go build -gcflags -std=all=gnu++11 -ldflags -std=all=gnu++11

How can I tell go to tell gcc to compile with C++11 or newer?

Command cgo

Using cgo with the go command

All the cgo CPPFLAGS and CFLAGS directives in a package are concatenated and used to compile C files in that package. All the CPPFLAGS and CXXFLAGS directives in a package are concatenated and used to compile C++ files in that package. All the CPPFLAGS and FFLAGS directives in a package are concatenated and used to compile Fortran files in that package. All the LDFLAGS directives in any package in the program are concatenated and used at link time. All the pkg-config directives are concatenated and sent to pkg-config simultaneously to add to each appropriate set of command-line flags.

On Windows:

set CGO_CXXFLAGS=-std=c++11
