Not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but this is on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS inside a VM (Linode):

So apparently I have to implement that for older versions for gcc. You are on gcc 5.4, right?

[mattparlane]

Correct. It's Ubuntu 16.04LTS, which I know is old, but it's still supported till April 2021.

OK, this should be fixed in 2c155e849d55185e203449ce2faced5698341176.
