cld2-cffi does not build on new compilers (gcc8)

[OneRaynyDay]

Currently building cld-cffi will fail on gcc8. To install it successfully, I used -Wno-narrowing as a CFLAG environment variable while pip install'ing. This is enforced in the new compilers because C++11 disallowed narrowing by default. For compilation, could you please add the flag during compilation so we can run pip install cld2-cffi and have it run without external environment variables?

Thank you.

for Ubuntu 18.04 it works only in this way:

export CFLAGS="-Wno-narrowing"
pip install cld2-cffi
