It depends.  If I read correctly the porting guide to Gcc 11 [1]
and if the number of occurrence of the issue is reasonable, then
you can just patch the throw(BadOptionSetting) occurrences to
replace them by noexcept(false).  If the number of occurrences
is too high to make a patch viable, then similarly to mothur,
the advice from Aaron M. Ucko applies: informing upstream and
temporarily getting back to C++14 is probably the saner course
of action.

In hope this helps,
Have a nice day,  :)
