Sure, but that doesn't answer my question. I think it's just a minor
burden which isn't much of a problem and should not block bumping the
minimum GCC requirement.
Do you agree?
Is the toolchain module GCC available on PATH? Maybe we could add some
fallback detection logic for a suitable compiler, similar to how a
Bourne shell is located on Solaris.
Thanks,
Florian
