There is a failure on buildfarm member taipan because it uses an unusual combination of gcc and clang (the gcc is much newer than clang). The only sensible workaround I could think of is a hardcoded override based on the clang version, as in the attached patch. And alternative is that we decide that we don't want to support this combination, meaning that we would effectively require that clang is approximately as-old-or-newer than gcc.

Jelte,

I read here

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/remove_reference.html

that remove_reference_t is actually in C++14, which might explain this
failure, if the compiler is in C++11 mode.

I don't understand the difference between remove_reference and
remove_reference_t.
