Answer 1

Maybe you can resort to older tag of googletest?

Compare 1.8.1 requirements:

Linux Requirements

These are the base requirements to build and use Google Test from a source package (as described below):

GNU-compatible Make or gmake
POSIX-standard shell
POSIX(-2) Regular Expressions (regex.h)
A C++98-standard-compliant compiler

with the latest one:

Build Requirements

These are the base requirements to build and use Google Test from a source package:

Bazel or CMake. NOTE: Bazel is the build system that googletest is using internally and tests against. CMake is community-supported.

a C++11-standard-compliant compiler

I guess you have to make a tradeoff: compatibility with your toolchain for googletest features.
