[Xastir-dev] Travis-CI: gcc 8?

[Curt Mills]

I have it building with gcc-8 on Xenial in my topic branch. Xenial is
Ubuntu-16.04. To get it to work I commented out the other builds and just
build with the new one until I could make it work properly. Now I don't
know how to integrate what I've done with the earlier 4-build .travis.yml
file we have on "master". Want to do the integration? If so I'll send it
direct to you. BTW: It's showing LOTS of warnings! For the rest of you out
there: That's actually what we want.
