No, because std::byte supports far too few operations [1].  Instead, I'd
suggest encouraging upstream to rename their type, and meanwhile locally
patching source/uchime_src/makefile to add -std=c++14 to CXXFLAGS,
thereby suppressing std::byte for now.

I also found massive link errors, resolvable by correcting the top-level
Makefile to pick up source/*.cpp and source/*.c rather than the
nonexistent *.cpp and *.c.
