Yes, please.  This is the last PR blocking the update to GCC 8 as the
default.

USE_GCC=any really only should make a difference on non-tier 1 
architectures that still have the age old GCC 4.2 as a system
compiler.  Everywhere else it is the same as USE_GCC=yes.

Hence I would not start hacking around re CFLAGS, and in fact
switch over to USE_GCC=yes: Doesn't make a difference for nearly
everyone and actually gets those lower tier architectures more on
par using what those that are regularly tested/used, increasing
the chance it'll actually build and work there, too.

Thanks for your help with this, Tobias!
