Is gcc13 tested enough? I fear that since we are left at gcc7 for a long 
time, that's the tested one.

6-7-13?
6-7-8-10-12-13?
6-8-13?


giving numbers :)  Keep odd compilers only if it is the last current 
available.

What's actually to "fix" later and add in-between gcc's if needed?

intel too? I need to fix that fan and test :)
