-std=c17 requires gcc-8 Ubuntu Bionic

[noabody]

cc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-std=c17’; did you mean ‘-std=c11’?
<builtin>: recipe for target 'cin_actr.o' failed

Took me awhile to figure out how to build:

sudo apt install gcc-8
make -C src CC="gcc-8" -j4

Found the answer for Ubuntu 18.04 users Install gcc-8 only on Ubuntu 18.04?"

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-7 700 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-7
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-8 800 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-8
sudo update-alternatives --config
