"root-config --glibs" output does not match files in libs/ directory

I explicitly asked this question here …

"root-config --glibs" output does not match files in libs/ directory

Can it be that the building of ROOT died in the middle and so not all libraries were built? @Axel Is the “devtoolset-7” supported on a “SL6” yet?

I guess I would appreciate a “renewed” official statement from @Axel concerning building and using ROOT 6 with “devtoolset-8” and “devtoolset-7” on SL[C]6 / CentOS6 and SL7 / CentOS7 (e.g. maybe some “devtoolset” is known to work on one of them). Even if these system may seem outdated, there are still many batch clusters which use them. The old statement:

Devtoolset/gcc-toolset compatibility

This still holds: Anyone reading this and willing to come up with a pull request for it is very welcome to ping me (also privately) to get some hints on what needs to be done. Until then: no devtoolset, please. Axel.
