Description
I've been experiencing segmentation faults when using mixed precision O2 #231
I know its been discussed that compiling with gcc<4.9 is causing these issues.
I have a later version gcc that I can recompile with, however, this means I'd have to reinstall pytorch. I have many packages dependent on the installation that are sensitive to similar issues, and it would take me a very long time to reinstall all of those packages, would it be possible to extend compilation to gcc 4.8.5 to make the install easier for those with earlier versions of gcc?
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by reviewing issue #231 and the extension's compilation requirements for GCC 4.8.5, focusing on the mixed-precision O2 segmentation-fault context. Confirm what changes are needed for installation with GCC 4.8.5, then verify that the extension builds and installs without reproducing the reported failure.
