Comment (by kencu):

 the buildbot farm currently builds everything with clang as the default
 compiler. The oldest clang used is the one from 10.7.

 So there is no testing of ports done against gcc of any version, in
 particular the crusty old gcc-4.2….many issues are likely to arise.

 The best approach might be to force builds to use gcc7 as a first step for
 failures, as that often works and is very easy to do.

 If that doesn’t work, then it’s surely harder to fix the issue, and might
 be impossible.
