Hello,
I just upgraded from Fedora 27 to 28. With that, gcc version has changed. Even though in Fedora 27 it was quite recent, in Fedora 28 I started to have trouble compiling ROOT 5 (I need to use version 5 of ROOT).
The errors are:
[ 35%] Building CXX object cint/reflex/CMakeFiles/Reflex.dir/src/VariableBuilder.cxx.o
[ 35%] Linking CXX shared library …/…/lib/libReflex.so
[ 35%] Built target Reflex

and so on.
I have no idea why it compiled on Fedora 27 but does not on 28. If you could advise any workaround, I would be grateful.
