Description

Trying version 0.5.0 (but same with 0.4.2), first I get:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/9.2.0/include/g++-v9/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bits/c++config.h:273:27: error: #if with no expression
  273 | #if _GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI
      |                           ^

if I fix it by manually changing makefile and replacing -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI= with _GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=1 I get another errors:

/usr/include/ATen/core/dispatch/Dispatcher.h:211:80: error: redeclaration of ‘at::Tensor& args#0’
  211 |     return kernel.template callUnboxedOnly<Return, Args...>(std::forward<Args>(args)...);
      |

Research direction

Start with the Makefile setting that produces the empty -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI= definition and reproduce the reported build using versions 0.5.0 and 0.4.2. Investigate whether the ABI setting explains the subsequent ATen Dispatcher.h error; done means the C++ backend builds without either compiler error on the affected environment.
