+# PHP will use gcc 7.2 (installed because of `kernel-devel`) to compile itself.
+# But the intl extension is C++ code. Since gcc-c++ 7.2 is not installed by default, gcc-c++ 4 will be used.
+# The mismatch breaks the build, see https://github.com/brefphp/bref/pull/373
+# To fix this, we install gcc-c++ 7.2. We also install gcc 7.2 explicitly to make sure we keep the same
+# version in the future.
