Re: setting gcc compiler in pybombs

[Aardric]

Thanks! I also needed to set
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/cpp cpp /usr/bin/cpp-7 7
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/cpp cpp /usr/bin/cpp-8 8

for a successful build. I still have warnings "MPFR header version 4.0.1
differs from library version 4.0.2-p6" which I would like to understand
but at least I now have a running gnuradio 3.9 to work with.
