problem build palemoon

I noticed you made any gcc under 9 impossible to build from. Can you perhaps tell me how to change that so I can build it? and if not, can you make it so I can build the latest?

I can't exactly switch to gcc 9 yet or newer on Hyperbola. Its rather tricky.

A bypass command option would even be helpful

You can bypass the check in the build system by reverting the code changes in commit 1b0fde3e10fa987b1c875ffa3c9fa9d286a56c94 on UXP.
Please understand that gcc 9.1 is the first version that fully supports the C++17 language specification which we rely on in current and future versions of UXP, so you really should find a way to make the gcc 9+ dev toolset available on your O.S., instead of trying to work around the requirement.

Yeah, that is probably true. I will do it this way for now though as long as it works.

I am attempting now to use that commit to change things if needed. Hopefully it won't revert when I build.

No guarantees on that one. We already assume c++17 is available when building and I don't know how older versions of gcc differ. Please don't rely on "it still works" because it could have hidden/subtle bugs in the binaries.

Yeah, I know it will be a bit of a gamble. I don't think I have much to fear, linux is still extremely hard to hack and most hackers don't target linux unless we talking about a server.

Stability bugs of course, could still be a problem, but that's on me I suppose.

EDIT: It does still appear to build fine though once I reverted your changes on that part.
