No I didn't used the solution from that post.
I don't see any mention of 4.8 in any files or in the environment variable.

I started afresh and still end up with gcc-4.8 for linking.

For example in PostGIS 2.4, I think we now have a dependency on pkg-config which older versions of PostGIS do not.  We'll sort this out before PostGIS release, but I think downside at moment, is the it fails if pkg-config is not installed.  I forget the exact error you get.
