See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48106. Without this patch, older versions of GCC, in particular one of the versions of GCC used to compile B2G, will crash trying to compile the code for bug 1063281. This patch makes GCC use "enum" instead of "enum class" if we detect a GCC version where the bug wasn't fixed. We already do something similar for older versions of Visual Studio.

sorry had to back this out in https://treeherder.mozilla.org/ui/#/jobs?repo=mozilla-inbound&revision=8847ac2e2a53 since one of this 3 checkins made XPCshell tests more failing frequently like the issues in bug 964673 as example
Thanks for the backout. I relanded this since it wasn't causing the issue that caused the need for a backout: https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/cd32febb260a
