unrecognised option '--add-std' error after upgrading solc to 0.4.24

Suspicious state from syntax checker solidity-checker: Flycheck checker solidity-checker returned non-zero exit code 1, but its output contained no errors: unrecognised option '--add-std'

This option was removed in version 0.4.22 of Solidity.
I found the following references regarding how other tools are affected. But I'm not sure if there is a fix/workaround for emacs-solidity

References :
argotorg/solidity#3984
argotorg/solidity#3695

Solution seems to be "upgrade go-ethereum", but how does that help a "linter" functionality of emacs-solidity ?
