Today I learnt that g++-7, g++-8 and g++ are three different packages.

Installing the lastest g++  got me `g++ --version` yielding version 8

Before:
$ dpkg -l g++\* | grep ^ii
ii  g++            4:7.3.0-3    amd64        GNU C++ compiler
ii  g++-7          7.3.0-25     amd64        GNU C++ compiler
ii  g++-8          8.1.0-10     amd64        GNU C++ compiler

After:
$ dpkg -l g++\* | grep ^ii
ii  g++                  4:8.1.0-1    amd64        GNU C++ compiler
ii  g++-7                7.3.0-25     amd64        GNU C++ compiler
ii  g++-8                8.1.0-10     amd64        GNU C++ compiler


I now have the FTBFS reproduced.   Thank you.
