Comment(by adfernandes@…):

 I forgot gcc48, and will do that today.

 I hadn't forgotten gcc45 (except to mention it). The graphite optimization
 stuff (ppl and cloog) has been going through a lot of changes that are not
 super coordinated between groups.

 Sometime around gcc45 the backend for cloog changed from ppl to isl.
 Technically, isl is still in beta, although it is widely used and tested.
 ppl is still needed outside of cloog for other parts of the loop
 opimization pipeline.

 It's very confusing, and the docs (if any) are worse. It's so bad that the
 latest ppl doesn't work at all with any gcc branch. I'm not surprised that
 the clang folks are rolling their own polyhedral optimization system.

 Suffice to say that I just didn't have time or inclination to test gcc45.
 If it builds and runs - great! But sorry if I sound grumpy; such
 "incompatible versionitis" on such a core bit of software is really
 annoying.
