Ubuntu 14.04. I've installed gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf, g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf (tried 4.8 and 4.9 from utopic).

Code that uses std::thread:

#include <iostream>
#include <chrono>
#include <future>

void secondList()
{
    const std::chrono::seconds twoSeconds(2);

    for (size_t i = 0; i != 300; ++i)
    {
        std::this_thread::sleep_for(twoSeconds);
        std::cout << "2s\n";
    }
}

int main(int, const char *[])
{
    auto secondThr = std::async(std::launch::async, secondList);

    return 0;
}

Compiling with:

arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ --std=c++11 main.cpp -lpthread -o main

On RPI it fails:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ ./main 
pure virtual method called
terminate called without an active exception
Aborted

Compiling on RPI works:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ g++ --std=c++0x main.cpp -lpthread -o main

Pi image 2015-02-16-raspbian-wheezy, g++ on Pi (Debian 4.6.3-14+rpi1) 4.6.3.

I've tried compiler options -mcpu=cortex-a7, -mcpu=cortex-a8 and -D__GCC_HAVE_SYNC_COMPARE_AND_SWAP_{1,2,4,8} that were mentioned in similar questions.

Also tried g++ from ppa: precise

Why it is happening and how to get a cross-compiler that works?
