Error when building FIX 8 - gcc7

Question

Using gcc 7.1
[idf fix8]$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

when I run make I get these errors (which is weird because I told it not to build tests!)

^~~~~~~~

etc...
I have confirmed that the build also fails with
gcc version 7.2.1 20170915 (Red Hat 7.2.1-2) (GCC)
I just verified that it does compile with
gcc version 5.3.1 20160406 (Red Hat 5.3.1-6) (GCC)
and it also does compile with
gcc version 6.3.1 20170216 (Red Hat 6.3.1-3) (GCC)
Please advise.

You have to explicitly #include <functional> in logger.hpp.
The reason is stated in https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/porting_to.html:
Several C++ Standard Library headers have been changed to no longer
include the header. As such, C++ programs that used
components defined in without explicitly including that
header will no longer compile.
Previously components such as std::bind and std::function were
implicitly defined after including unrelated headers such as < memory>,
< future>, < mutex>, and < regex>. Correct code should #include
< functional> to define them.
