[Discuss-gnuradio] Error messages when trying to do fresh install of gnuradio--internal compiler error

[Ed Troy]

I could never get the Pluto modules to work with gnuradio under Ubuntu 
17.04. So, I scrapped that and installed Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS. Now, when I 
try to install gnuradio, the following happens with the following 
errors., primarily Internal compiler error
