try building qtscript-5.11.3

I just did. I builds fine for me.

Edit: I've also retried with LTO CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS.

It compiles fine.

You built it without JIT support?

You built it without JIT support?

True. With jit it fails at the beginning.

It appears that gcc-8.x refuses to accept asm volatile combination.

Even though it is in its manual page, so this should work.

What's trhe workaround ? Usinng some speciall __attribute__(( )) or something else ?

Now that you know there's a problems, why not report it on the bug tracker where it may get some dev's attention? Right now nothing is reported, unless this old issue is your problem:

I didn't report it because I found the reference to a bug that is waiting to be resolved, mentioning "asm volatile" combination .

Also, I ve understood mlau's post as a hint that not all is rosy with 8.3.0 and that he is waiting for a specific patch.
And that he could possibly have a temporary workaround.

Since I don't need qtscript, and had I needed it, I'd compile it with gcc-7.3.0, I just unmerged it and went my way...
