By the way, I currently have a clunky system with a separate set of source packages to generate 16.04 and 16.10 builds with gcc-4.9 instead of the problematic gcc-5 and 6 those releases default to, but I have a new addition to the rules file (thanks, dolphin_oracle!) which detects if it's being built on those two, Ubuntu 17.04, or Debian Stretch, and forces those to use gcc-4.9, so I can have one source file for all those releases, using anything from gcc-4.6 to 4.9, which is much more elegant. I'm testing it out in the separate newmoon-next repository, and it seems to have worked correctly, so I'm going to update the 27.0.3 newmoon packages next. The packages will be essentially the same after that, it's just that the build will be more elegant. The packages will be unavailable for the hour or so they take to build.
