Alternatively, we could sort-of restore the old state of the GETTEXT_POISON job, i.e. build Git with GCC 4.8 in that job. "Sort-of", because we don't necessarily have to go back to the Ubuntu 14.04 based Linux image, because GCC 4.8 is packaged in 16.04 as well, so it's just an 'apt-get install gcc-4.8' away.
