FWIW, we discussed this [1] and decided there was nothing to be done for
Ubuntu 18.04 since the issue is due to a compiler bug with no easy fix.
Since Ubuntu 18.04 is EOL at the end of the month it doesn't seem worth
spending a lot of time on it.

I thought the plan was to exclude Ubuntu 18.04 for 2.45 but perhaps the
maintainers are just letting the clock run out instead.
