bcrypt error after upgrading nodejs gear to v0.12 on Openshift

Question

After upgrading the nodejs version running on my Openshift's gear from v0.10 to v0.12, I get the following error:

Error: /app-root/runtime/repo/node_modules/bcrypt/build/Release/bcrypt_lib.node: undefined     
symbol: node_module_register    
    at Module.load (module.js:356:32)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12)
    at Module.require (module.js:364:17)

    at Module.load (module.js:356:32)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12)

The bcrypt version in my package.json is set to ~0.8.5.

So far I have tried these without success:
- rhc ssh myapp then update node-gyp, rm -rf node_modules and npm install;
- manually installed the dependencies;
- edited package.json to preinstall node-gyp

"scripts":{
    "preinstall": "npm i -g node-gyp && node-gyp clean"
}

anyone has an idea / knows on how I can solve this? (ideally the solution won't require to upgrade gcc)

Also, I am using Ryan J's custom cartridge for nodejs v.012

I finally solved it with a workaround by editing .openshift\lib\utils and adding export OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_VERSION=0.6 in the setup_path_for_custom_node_version() function:

#  Add the node binary path to the PATH.
export OPENSHIFT_NODEJS_VERSION=0.6
export PATH="$node_bin_path:${PATH}"
