* Build a new enough GCC for yourself
* Adjust Scintilla's sources not to require features not in GCC 4.8
* If it's that simple, figure out a set of GCC 4.8 options that make it work 
(I'm afraid there won't be any)
* Convince Scintilla's authors not to depend on C++ features not supported by 
your favorite version of the compiler.
* Use an older version of Geany and/or Scintilla (it *might* be possible to 
downgrade Scintilla alone, YMMV)

I'm sorry you're frustrated, but we depend on Scintilla, and Scintilla depends 
on a set of C++11 features (and will even be C++17 "soon" as @elextr 
mentioned). We don't have enough manpower or interest in maintaining support 
for compilers Scintilla stopped supporting, but if you offer that yourself 
we'll surely consider.
