Public bug reported: There is a significant incompatibility here which leaves the default C++ compiler broken with C++17 std::filesystem usage. Unfortunately, there isn't an obvious workaround since there's only one libstdc++6 package, and it's using the non-default and unreleased GCC9 version of libstdc++, making it impossible to use the compatible GCC8 version of the library.
