The reason for marking Won't Fix was given as the following:

Since this appears to be a gcc bug, not a greenlet bug, greenlet version support is irrelevant.

As for there being newer LTS versions of Ubuntu available... 1) that's not true for PowerVM systems, where Ubuntu 18.04 is not currently supported and 2) long-term support for LTS releases does not end when a newer LTS release is available. According to [1] 16.04 is still supported into 2021.

So can we reopen this to get a gcc fix for 16.04?
