We have trouble in building a wheel for python psutil 5.7.0. See at [https://travis-ci.org/github/smarthomeNG/smarthome/jobs/688112865](https://travis-ci.org/github/smarthomeNG/smarthome/jobs/688112865)

It seems as if a newer version of gcc will cure this. Currently Travis is using `gcc (Ubuntu 9.2.1-28ubuntu1) 9.2.1 20200203` but a normal desktop or server installation is using `gcc version 9.3.0 (Ubuntu 9.3.0-10ubuntu2)`

The problem seems to be here as well: [steinbergmedia/vst3sdk#55](https://github.com/steinbergmedia/vst3sdk/issues/55)

Until there is a fix in sight, the following snippet added in our `.travis.yml`

```auto
before_install:
    - sudo apt-get update
    - sudo apt-get install gcc --only-upgrade

```

did the trick.

Since Travis team updated gcc to 9.3.0 for the provided version of Ubuntu the problem is solved.
