I would just like to confirm the issue, when not using the recommended 
compiler.

I tried building with clang 4.0.1 and it failed to build.

I tried with -14.2 gcc 5.3.0 and, if I recall correctly, it built but, 
was crashing very often.

I tried with gcclegacy494 and it compiled fine and works very well 
during the last couple of days.

BTW, I built version 27.4.0.
