I took a look at this issue, most of the errors can be fixed by adding
the -std=gnu++98 flag when building the fxpackager module (by patching
the LINUX.launcherlibrary.ccFlags line in the buildSrc/linux.gradle file).

There is one error left though:

  modules/fxpackager/src/main/native/library/common/PosixPlatform.cpp: In member function ‘virtual bool PosixProcess::Wait()’:
  modules/fxpackager/src/main/native/library/common/PosixPlatform.cpp:235:10: error: ‘wait’ was not declared in this scope
       wait();
            ^

I'm not sure to understand why this no longer works with GCC 6. I think
I've figured out a fix but I need a C expert to review it:
