Really? Seems pretty old. I run Debian Stable (stretch) on most of my systems and it has gcc 6.3.0.
I do like to make my software as portable as possible, but there are practical limits. Often the the newer version of something is the "right" one to use in that it fixes some problem that is otherwise difficult or impossible to fix.

Any progress on this? What can I do to help fix it?
Updating gcc is probably a non-starter. Maybe a workaround can be found, but as support for 14.04 is ending in April of 2019, I would suggest we focus our energy elsewhere. If we decide to not fix this, we need to update the README.md and INSTALL.md files to reflect this fact.
What minimum version of Ubuntu is required to compile the package as it currently is? I'd like to add that to the documentation.
Ubuntu 14.04 is end-of-support. Should this be closed?
Closing this as won't fix.
