Trying a shot in the dark based on that 4.11 has 2.9x gcc & 5.4 has
3.4 AND old C requirement that a variable must be declared before
assignment (which may be total waste of time) ...

Does the following compile on your 4.11 box ...

  #include <stdio.h>
  int main()
  { int i;
    for (i = 0; i < 3 ; i++)
    { int q = i + 1;
      printf( "%d " , q);
    }
    return 0;
  }


... and if that fails but does this compile ...

  #include <stdio.h>
  int main()
  { int i;
    for (i = 0; i < 3 ; i++)
    { int q;
      q = i + 1;
      printf( "%d " , q);
    }
    return 0;
  }


... try the command (assuming code is saved in a file called
hogwash.c) ...

  cc -Wall -Wno-implicit-int -O -pipe -o hogwash hogwash.c \
  && ./hogwash  # [ws]hould print 1 2 3.
