Let me know how it works.  For now I've given up on all the clones
and just stick to RasPi.

Yes.  gcc 6 should use that one.

Maybe not messing with the include directories directly, but certainly
indirectly when you are flipping between cpp.  gcc should do that
automagically, so if you touched that I'd double check what you did.

'update-alternatives' is a Debian thing, not a GNU thing.  I don't know
how that works.

Why don't you just turn off HAVE_STDATOMIC_H?  Comment out lines 783 to 
794 in SConstruct.  You lose a bit of reliability in SHM export and
time hinting.
