GCC 4.8 is at least 4 years old and as I see in GitHub V8 is under very 
active development, so strange that only newer GCC versions are not 
considered... A patch commenting out the offending function? OK, I could 
submit such patch, but I'm not sure this is the right solution and I do not 
know V8's source at all to make a real fix.

Yes, I got you point, but I find V8 version numbering as confusing as the 
official documentation and the procedure 
<https://gist.github.com/leobalter/aa8953b9a317e2ae9696#file-v8-md> I 
referred was the only one working for me so far. And I pretty much 
understand what cloning means, so at least it's clear the problem is in the 
most recent source. However, I'm just trying to build V8 library without 
having to read tons of documentation and learning new tools (mostly used 
internally in Google as it seems), because V8 is not my primary development 
interest, but just a dependency I need to satisfy.

Anyway, now that I was able to build V8 with the help of the people from 
this group (including you) how could I install it? There is no "make 
install":

$ make install
$ make: *** No rule to make target 'install'.  Stop.

Perhaps I also need to elaborate my own installation script?

My ultimate goal is to build a package in order to redistribute V8 library 
more easily and conveniently, but frankly V8 is the toughest software in 
terms of building and packaging that I met since long ago.
