Nope -- the software was compiled (into a binary) on a Ubuntu system which 
apparently can compile C++17

On Wheezy:

rhk@s19:/rhk/downloads2/Scintilla_Dusan$ 

On Jessie, very similar but only mentions two versions not found:  
`CXXABI_1.3.9' and `GLIBCXX_3.4.21'

On Wheezy (Wheezy is easier for me to send emails to / from):

Any idea why -- that was very disappointing, in fact, compiling it static 
added only about 450 bytes to the zip file containing the executable (and
