Hi,

for me it is gcc48 (or apple 4.2 on tiger or such) for old software. 
gcc6 covers most needs and gcc7 is "current". Who knows, maybe gcc13 
replaces gcc7 in all its uses. Or maybe later we can add gcc8 or whatever.

Let's switch? I hope gcc's can be added later, maybe even with libgcc 
stupped?

If we do it today or tomorrow, I can leave my G4 building :-P
