Issue #15012 has been updated by junaruga (Jun Aruga).


I just noticed the environment variables line for gcc-8 test case on `.travis.yml` are removed by the great hack in `configure.ac`.

That's amazing!
Thank you for the improvement.

Misc #15012: Testing on latest version gcc on Travis CI
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15012#change-74058

----------------------------------------
Ruby's Travis CI [1] is running on gcc 4.8.4 as the default behavior of Travis gcc setting.
Right now gcc's latest version is 8.
Though it is important to test on the old version gcc-4.8, also it is meaningful to test on the latest version gcc, knowing we have RubyCI. [2]

The benefit to run on gcc-8 is
* We can care the issue on the latest version of gcc easier, such as visualizing the build warnings on the log.
* We can show contributors or developers how ruby could be built on the latest version gcc.

I sent the pull-request [3] to show the code as a proposal.
