----------------------------+----------------------
 I tried to build FDO trunk on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, which includes GCC 7.x but
 it fails due to the following:

  * General: Errors of the form {{{invalid conversion from ‘wchar_t’ to
 ‘wchar_t*’}}} in {{{'\0'}}} assignment due to {{{-fpermissive}}}. Fix: Fix
 up the incorrect assignments.
  * MySQL Driver: The {{{<string>}}} header included in {{{stdafx.h}}} now
 complains about {{{errno}}} due to finding {{{errno.h}}} in the MySQL
 Driver directory before {{{<cerrno>}}}. Fix: Rather that fight with
 include path precedence, just rename {{{errno.h}}} to {{{drv_errno.h}}} so
 {{{<string>}}} will properly resolve errno in {{{<cerrno>}}}
