I interpreted the end of that thread so that Greg thinks it's
fine to force a given GCC version for a given platform and not
necessarily do it by insisting that the code needs c++17 (if
that's not really the case) as long as a comment is left
explaining why this is done, and that there probably is an
un-diagnosed bug lurking back there with the previous gcc which
this is a workaround for.

But apparently nobody picked up the ball and carried it over the
goal-line.  Want me to do this?  For NetBSD/x86_64 9.x only?
(That's the only verified problem, for now; my build hosts are
working on sparc64 and i386.)
