It is possible; if someone tracks down the respective GCC change and backports
it to GCC 8 in Buster or alternatively lands a patch in the ESR91 branch
which changes the code to no longer trigger the ICE, that would fix it.

But realistically the number of people who actively care about i386 support is
really, really small so I wouldn't count on it...

  Maybe the Qt/moc and the gcc/Firefox bugs are unrelated. I
have not heard anything about it here yet. I have found a page
that tells the moc error can be resolved by upgrading from Qt
5.4.1 -> 5.4.2.

https://topic.alibabacloud.com/a/usrincludec641bitsstl_relops67parse-error-at-std_1_31_30235235.html

  It would be a general question of mine regarding both bugs why
you do not simply up/downgrade to the last known good version.
The i386 target would work well including the required security
updates and it would not be necessary to develop a patch for
these issues.
  Given that this should not be possible for some reason, please
share your knowledge about these bugs, so that people like me
can try to find a fix.
