Gentoo stable appears to be gcc-4.7.3-r1. ebuilds up to gcc-4.9.1 are |
| 15 |
present in the tree. Upgrading gcc is painful, so I appreciate the |
| 16 |
maintainers not forcing a rebuild with every version bump. That's the |
| 17 |
philosophy behind "stable". The tradeoff is that we have to wait longer |
| 18 |
for "new and shiney" stuff. For those who want it, you can always |
| 19 |
keyword a later version of gcc. |
