G++ 8.3.0-6 is in Buster's repo. Maybe it could be backported?

gcc-7 and Buster's gcc-8 was backported to our experimental repo a few months ago, and in fact I successfully used it to backport telegram-desktop 1.7.0 to MX 17/18 a couple days ago. I made a few announcements, but never got any answer:

You have to export the compiler versions in the environment to use it instead of Stretch's default gcc-6:
Code: Select all
export CC=gcc-8
export CXX=g++-8
export CPP=cpp-8
export LD=gcc-8
(if required)
export ASM=gcc-8

You can enable the experimental repo by adding this line to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mx.list:
Code: Select all
deb http://mxrepo.com/mx/experimental/ stretch test \
Using Featherpad to do so:
Code: Select all
sudo fpad /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mx.list
Then updating in MX updater or on the command line:
gcc-8, g++-8, and cpp-8 can now be installed.
