> The default el6 (RHEL/SL/CentOS-6) compiler is gcc-4.4.7, it does not support c++11, not even a little bit.

The previously posted instructions are incomplete - one cannot cross-compile 32-bit executables (i.e. for running on 32-bit VME 
processors) because 64-bit packages are missing 4 files for the 32-bit C++ standard library (libstdc++_nonshared.a).

After a bit of searching I found the missing files, i.e. here:
https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/mayeut/devtoolset-8/epel-6-i386/01045166-devtoolset-8-gcc/

There are 2 options:

a) install the 32-bit development package:
rpm -vh --install https://ladd00.triumf.ca/~olchansk/devtoolset-8/devtoolset-8-libstdc++-devel-8.3.1-3.1.el6.i686.rpm

b) install just the 4 missing files from here:
https://ladd00.triumf.ca/~olchansk/devtoolset-8/i686-redhat-linux/8/
into
/opt/rh/devtoolset-8/root/usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/8/

After doing this, "make linux32" builds. (requires latest midas-2019-09 for minor Makefile fixes)

K.O.
