what is requiring -fno-gnu-unique?

probably a STL template; it can be hard to figure out which one because you have to pore over the libc++ implementation and that's very timeconsuming.
-fno-gnu-unique should always be safe for DFHack plugins, as long as they don't crossload another another plug-in module

Nothing is actually requiring this. Is what a (failed) attempt to make the plugin unload. I will have to check whether it unloads, now that I have removed the GDAL dependency. Keeping this there and the conversation open in the meantime.

should this be constexpr instead of static?

The goal of this plugin is to export the world map at the region-tile (i.e., embark tile or midmap-tile) level for use with GIS programs like ArcGIS or QGIS. For a medium-sized map, this amounts to (129*16)^2 = 4260096 region tiles with biome information for every region tile fetched from one of the surrounding world tiles.
In order to keep the output down to a manageable size (17 MB of CSV for a medium-sized world), region tiles are clustered by the world tile they take their information from, and every cluster is exported as a single feature with its geometry described as a WKT (MULTI)POLYGON, resulting in an export of only 129^2 = 16641 features.
